An Annotated Check List of the Mammals of Michoacán, México
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Remarks._--Under date of October 11, 1948, Henry W. Setzer (_in
litt._) states that four specimens of this species, in the Biological
Surveys Collection in the United States National Museum, were taken at
La Salada, by Nelson and Goldman, and bear catalogue numbers 126156,
126157, 126158 and 126159. No. 126158 is a female taken on March 19,
1903. The other three specimens are males taken on March 17, 1903. We
did not see any animals of this species in our own field work, and the
only materials from Michoacán actually examined by one of us (Hall)
are the skulls of nos. 126156 and 126158, referred to above, from the
Biological Surveys Collection.
=Odocoileus virginianus sinaloae= Allen
White-tailed Deer; Spanish, Venado Cola Blanca; Tarascan, Asúni (Ashumi)
_Odocoileus sinaloae_ Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.,
19:613, November 14, 1903, type from. Esquinapa, Sinaloa.
_Range._--Probably statewide.
_Remarks._--Through the courtesy of Dr. A. Remington Kellogg we learn
that in a manuscript on the deer of the _Odocoileus virginianus_
group, he and the late Major E. A. Goldman had recorded specimens, in
the Biological Surveys Collection of the United States National
Museum, as follows: Nahuatzin, 8,500 ft., nos. 35924/48232, and
35925/48233; Los Reyes, 5,000 ft., no. 165673; Pátzcuaro, 7,000 ft.,
no. 35535/47819; and Uruapan, 4,500 ft., no. 13060. We have not
anywhere seen the name combination _Odocoileus virginianus sinaloae_
but from the original description we judge that _Odocoileus sinaloae_
is to be arranged as a geographic race of the wide-ranging species
_Odocoileus virginianus_ as that species is now understood.
=Dasypus novemcinctus mexicanus= Peters
Nine-banded Armadillo; Spanish, Armadillo; Tarascan, Isíngu (Esingŏ)
_Dasypus novemcinctus mexicanus_ Peters, Monatsber. k. preuss.
Akad. Wissensch. Berlin, p. 180, 1864 (name restricted by
Bailey, N. Amer. Fauna, 25:52, October 24, 1905, to the
subspecies occurring at Colima).
_Range._--Probably statewide.
_Specimens examined_, 2; nos. 51392 from Tancítaro and 51964 from
Apatzingan, 1,040 ft.
_Remarks._--The female from Tancítaro is immature as indicated by the
wide-open sutures between the bones of the skull which in over-all
length is only 72.8 mm. The male from Tancítaro is older and the
over-all length of the skull is 98.33 mm. Geographic considerations
alone are responsible for our use of the subspecific name _mexicanus_;
we do not know the morphological features which distinguish
_mexicanus_ from other named subspecies.
