Heterogeomys is a genus of rodent in the family Geomyidae, found in Mexico, Central America and Colombia. Heterogeomys are a small genus of rodents commonly known as pocket gophers, though the term applies to all genera within the family Geomyidae. The name pocket gopher was earned for this family because of their fur lined cheek pouches that can be used for carrying food. These pouches can also be turned inside out. Species of Heterogeomys are regarded as pests, one of less than 5% of rodent species classified as pests, and the history of man's attempts to control their populations reaches back into Mayan times. Despite some efforts to the contrary, populations of Heterogeomys seem to be on a general upwards trend. Furthermore, all of the species of Heterogeomys are considered to be of Le

Anteriorment era considerat un subgènere d'Orthogeomys, però un estudi genètic i morfològic publicat el 2016 l'elevà a la categoria de gènere. Conté igualment les espècies anteriorment classificades al subgènere Macrogeomys. Els representants d'aquest grup viuen a Centreamèrica i el sud de Nord-amèrica. (ca)
