Presentamos los primeros registros fotográficos de esta especie que complementan el conocimiento sobre su distribución geográfica en Puebla y Oaxaca

Cyclopes didactylus

<i>Cyclopes didactylus</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 6. <p> <i>Cyclopes didactylus</i> is the only species of the <i>Cyclopes</i> genus in Mexico (Hall 1981). The small size, prehensile tail, and golden hair make this species distinct from any other species in the region (Reid 2009).</p>Published as part of <i>Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6)</i> on page 715, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Canis latrans Say 1823

Canis latrans Say 1823 Material examined. Table 2; Figure 19. Canis latrans is the only dog-like species native to the area (Hall 1981). This species could be confused with domestic dogs, but domestic dogs usually have shorter legs and shorter fur (Reid 2009).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 718, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Mazama temama

Mazama temama (Kerr, 1792) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 30. Mazama temama is a small, reddish brown deer having a rounded body with arched back and slim legs and neck (Reid 2009). In the eastern portion of the study region M. temama is almost sympatric with M. pandora Merriam, 1901 (Medellin et al. 1998). The main differences between these species are their size and color (larger and a paler in M. pandora) (Reid 2009). In previous studies, Mazama spp. were observed at very low abundance in the wetlands of Campeche (Contreras-Moreno et al. 2016). We only have 1 photograph of Mazama spp. in our study, and recorded a second record of a deer killed by a subsistence hunter. Both individuals were identified as M. temama by their reddish-brown fur.Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 720, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Dicotyles crassus Linnaeus 1758

Dicotyles crassus Linnaeus, 1758 Material examined. Table 2; Figure 28. Dicotyles crassus is a medium-sized mammal with a large triangular head, stocky body, and thin legs. Its fur is mostly dark gray-brown but this species is characterized by a cream-colored collar from the shoulders to the chest. The only similar species is Tayassu pecari, but D. crassus can be easily differentiated because T. pecari is larger, has darker fur, and has a white patch on its cheek and lower jaw. We use D. crassus instead of the commonly used Pecari tajacu following Ramirez-Pulido et al. (2014).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 720, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Conepatus semistriatus

<i>Conepatus semistriatus</i> (Boddaert 1758) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 21. <p> <i>Conepatus semistriatus</i> is a large and stocky skunk with a black body and 2 narrow white stripes that run from the forehead to the upper rump. It has a large piglike snout (Reid 2009). <i>Conepatus semistriatus</i> could be confused with other skunk species (<i>Spilogale angustifrons</i> Howell, 1902 or <i>Mephitis macroura</i> Lichtenstein, 1832) that potential occur in the region, but the large and stocky body are sufficient to distinguish this species.</p> <p> The study region is close to the area where <i>C. semistriatus</i> and <i>C. leuconotus</i> (Lichtenstein, 1832) are sympatric (Hall 1981). However, <i>C. semistriatus</i> has 2 narrow white stripes on the back compared with <i>C. leuconotus</i> which only has a single, broad white stripe from the forehead to the tail (Reid 2009). All our photographs of <i>Conepatus</i> are <i>C. semistriatus</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6)</i> on page 718, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Dasyprocta punctata Gray 1842

Dasyprocta punctata Gray, 1842 Material examined. Table 2; Figure 12. Dasyprocta punctata is a large orange-brown rodent with a rounded back and long skinny legs. The study area is at the edge of this species’ distribution range (Hall 1981). However, there is a second potential species, D. mexicana Saussure, 1860 which differs from D. punctata by its black, rather than orange-brown fur. All our photographs of Dasyprocta belong to D. punctata.Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 718, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Procyon lotor

Procyon lotor (Linnaeus, 1758) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 27. Procyon lotor is a medium-sized, gray procyonid having a distinctive face with a black mask extending onto the cheeks, bordered with white eyebrows and sides of the muzzle (Reid 2009). This is the only raccoon to occur in continental Mexico.Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 720, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
