We provide an updated list of the Recent land mammals of Mexico and include information on the taxonomy of certain species, and where appropriate, the endemic and threatened status of all species listed.Several taxonomic and nomenclatural changes have been made since publication of the last list of the Mexican terrestrial mammalian fauna.Within the period from 2005 to present, there have been at least 209 changes concerning the nomenclature of this fauna; these we evaluated in this paper.The land mammals of Mexico comprise 168 genera, 496 species, and 881 subspecies.
