The pocket gophers of the species _Thomomys talpoides_ in east-central Colorado have long been referred to the subspecies _Thomomys talpoides clusius_ Coues with type locality at Bridger Pass, Wyoming. Recently, two subspecies, _T. t. attenuatus_ and _T. t. rostralis_ (see Hall and Montague, Univ. Kansas Publ., Mus. Nat. Hist., 5(3): 25-32, February 28, 1951) were named from along the Wyoming-Colorado boundary with the result that the populations of _Thomomys talpoides_ in east-central Colorado are separated from _T. t. clusius_ of Wyoming by the geographic ranges now ascribed to the recently named _T. t. attenuatus_ and _T. t. rostralis_. The subspecific identity of the animals from east-central Colorado thus is left in doubt. Examination of pertinent materials was made in the expectation that the names _Thomomys talpoides macrotis_ F. W. Miller (Proc. Colorado Mus. Nat.
