We rediscovered a population of Nelson's spiny pocket mouse (Heteromys nelsoni; Merriam, 1902) in the type locality of Pinabeto in the Mexican state of Chiapas, 121 years after it was last collected. We describe five topotype specimens according to their morphology and external measurements, and we confirm its identity at the species level in the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) of GenBank. As the population of H. nelsoni in Pinabeto is isolated, it is likely to be susceptible to extinction. There is a need to carry out additional scientific studies of this microendemic species in order to obtain more information regarding its biology, ecology and evolutionary history, and to be able to influence environmental policy to protect and conserve this species, as well as the region's cloud forests.
