“…Although Phrynosoma modestum is found in the State of Nuevo León, it does not inhabit the pine-oak forest around the cave. It inhabits the open shrub areas in arid and semiarid watersheds [83], and Juniperus forest in the State of Nuevo Leon [91,92]. The distributional pattern linking the Sierra Madre Oriental with the Mexican Plateau represented by P. modestum is reinforced by the presence of P. orbiculare that today occurs primarily on the Mexican Plateau.…”

San Josecito Cave (2250 m elevation) is located nearby Aramberri, Nuevo León, northeastern Mexico, with excavations occurring in 1935–1941 and 1990. It is a paleontological cave and the significance of its faunal data rests in the understanding of the Quaternary ecosystems of the Mexican Plateau and the Southern Plains. This significance is underpinned by a consideration of associated stratigraphic and geochronological data. The fauna is composed of mollusks, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. More than 30 extinct vertebrate species have been identified, constituting one of the most important Quaternary localities in the Americas. Radiocarbon dates and faunal correlations indicate the excavated deposits represent an interval of time between 45,000 and 11,000 14C years BP. The current synthesis demonstrates that the previous view of the assemblage as a single local fauna is erroneous and that, instead, several successive local faunas are present within a stratigraphic framework. This finding underscores the need for detailed studies of single localities in building paleoenvironmental models. As a corollary, results point to the necessity of including all vertebrate classes represented from a locality in building those models. In addition, the field and analytical methodologies demonstrate the importance of very detailed paleontological excavations, with precise spatial and temporal controls, to assess the taphonomic history of a locality, construct a stratigraphic and geochronological framework, and infer the paleoecological conditions during the time span considered based on the number of local faunas represented. The recognition of San Josecito Cave as an important Late Pleistocene vertebrate paleontological locality is enhanced with the consideration of its faunal data for paleoenvironment reconstruction and possible contribution to Quaternary paleoclimatic modeling.

“…The Morelet's Leaf Frog (Agalychnis moreletii) is a moderatesized species of tree frog, attaining 65.7 mm in males, 82.9 mm in females, and diagnosed from other species of the genus by having three-fourths of the hands and feet webbed, uniformly orange flanks and thigs, and a black eye (Duellman, 1970). The species is currently known from the Mexican state of Puebla southwards to Guatemala and Belize on the Atlantic versant and from Guerrero, Mexico southwards to El Salvador on the Pacific versant in an elevational range of 500-2130 m (Canseco-Márquez et al, 2000;Campbell, 1988;Duellman, 1970). Although some records of the species have been recently reported on the Pacific versant of Oaxaca (Vázquez-Vega et al, 2015), few localities are known to date on the adjacent state of Guerrero, most of them from the mid-elevations of the Sierra de Atoyac in the surroundings of the town of San Andrés de la Cruz (Duellman, 1970).…”

“…Coleonyx elegans nemoralis (Gray, 1845), es una subespecie amenazada (Semarnat, 2010) de la familia Eublepharidae. La distribución conocida de la especie en México se extiende por las costas del Atlántico y del Pacífico, en los estados de Puebla, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, Campeche, Tabasco, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Jalisco, Colima y Nayarit (Calderón-Mandujano, 2002;Canseco-Márquez et al, 2004García-Vázquez et al, 2006: Juárez et al, 2006Hernández-Jiménez y García-Vázquez, 2009). A pesar de presentar una distribución relativamente amplia, la frecuencia baja de avistamientos parece indicar que sus poblaciones son escasas, particularmente en la costa del Pacífico (Duellman, 1965;Saldaña-de la Riva y Pérez-Ramos, 1987;Castro y Bustos, 1994, 2003García y Ceballos, 1994).…”

“…El sitio donde se encontró C. elegans nemoralis en el Estado de México, presenta selva baja caducifolia y clima cálido (Monroy-Vilchis et al, 2012). Este ambiente ha sido registrado para la especie, principalmente en la vertiente del Pacífico (Saldaña-de la Riva y Pérez-Ramos, 1987; García y Ceballos, 1994;Ramírez-Bautista, 1994;Canseco-Márquez et al, 2004), aunque su presencia en esta zona parece ser más escasa que en el Atlántico (58 registros; 19%).…”

Resumen. En México existen registros de lagartijas de la familia Eublepharidae en las costas del Atlántico y del Pacífico y son consideradas como amenazadas. El género Coleonyx muestra una distribución amplia pero se desconoce el límite de su distribución. En este estudio se presenta el primer registro de Coleonyx elegans nemoralis en el Estado de México, que representa una expansión aproximada de 129 km hacia el centro de México. Además, analizamos la distribución del grupo C. elegans con base en los registros conocidos y en un modelo de distribución potencial generado con Maxent. El hallazgo reciente de la presencia de esta subespecie en el Estado de México puede relacionarse con un esfuerzo de muestreo bajo y con el poco conocimiento de la biología de la subespecie.Palabras clave: distribución, especies en peligro de extinción, Maxent, reptiles.
