The Panamanian spiny pocket mouse (Heteromys adspersus), also known as Peter's spiny pocket mouse, is a species of heteromyid rodent endemic to Panama. It is very closely related to Salvin's spiny pocket mouse, and has been placed in the same species group by some authors.[2] It was formerly placed in the genus Liomys, which is now recognized to be paraphyletic and has been subsumed into Heteromys.[3]
