Abstract

WE REPORT THE PRESENCE OF NEOTOMA MEXICANA VULCANI IN MEXICO; THIS SUBSPECIES HAS BEEN CONSIDERED ENDEMIC TO THE TAJOMULCO VOLCANO, IN THE DEPARTAMENTO OF SAN MARCOS, GUATEMALA. WE IDENTIFIED OUR SPECIMENS USING MEASUREMENTS, COLOR PATTERNS OF RECENTLY COLLETED SPECIMENS, AND DATA BASE RECORDS. BASED ON OUR RESULTS, THE DISTRIBUTION RANGE OF THIS SUBSPECIES EXTENDS TO MEXICO, IN THE SIERRA MADRE OF CHIAPAS, APPROXIMATELY 50 KM NORTH OF THE PREVIOUSLY KNOWN LOCALITY.
