An Annotated Check List of the Mammals of Michoacán, México
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 91909, Univ. Michigan, Mus. Zoöl., from
Rancho Escondido, one mile north of Apo, 6,000 feet elevation, June
29, 1947, female adult, taken by W. H. Burt.
=Lasiurus borealis mexicanus= (Saussure)
Red Bat; Spanish, Murciélago Rojizo
_A[talapha]. mexicana_ Saussure, Rev. et Mag. de Zoöl.,
13(2):97, March, 1861, type probably from Veracruz, Puebla
or Oaxaca.
_Lasiurus borealis mexicanus_, Miller, N. Amer. Fauna, 13:111,
October 16, 1897.
_Range._--Probably larger part of state.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 89446, Univ. Michigan, Mus. Zoöl., from
Nuevo San Juan (Los Conejos), 5 mi. SW Uruapan, May 23, 1945, by W. H.
Burt.
_Remarks._--This specimen, a male with much worn teeth, answers well
to the description of _L. b. mexicanus_ except that the minute
premolar between the canine and fourth premolar is missing on each
side of the upper jaw. This, however, seems the less remarkable after
examination of 18 skulls of _L. b. borealis_ from the United States in
two of which these minute premolars are likewise absent; one of the
two specimens from the United States has unworn teeth and the other
much worn teeth.
=Lasiurus cinereus cinereus= (Beauvois)
Hoary Bat; Spanish, Murciélago Pardo
_Vespertilio cinereus_ (misspelled _linereus_) Beauvois,
Catal. Raisonné Mus. Peale, Philadelphia, p. 18, 1796,
type locality, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
_Lasiurus cinereus_, H. Allen, Monogr. N. Amer. Bats,
Smithsonian Misc. Colls., 7(1): 12, June, 1864.
_Range._--Higher elevations throughout state.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 89456, Univ. Michigan Mus. Zoöl., from
Barranca Seca, May 6, 1945, adult male with much worn teeth, obtained
by W. H. Burt.
