D. ingens (Giant kangaroo rat) - endangered
D. insularis (San Jose Island kangaroo rat) - critically endangered
D. margaritae (Margarita Island kangaroo rat) - critically endangered
D. stephensi (Stephens' kangaroo rat) - endangered
In addition, the Texas kangaroo rat (D. elator) and the San Joaquin kangaroo rat (D. nitratoides) are listed as vulnerable, with decreasing populations.
