Abstract

We assessed geographical range of pacas Cuniculus paca in the northern Neotropics based on historical and recent records. We report two new records from Tamaulipas and Hidalgo. These records confirm presence of pacas in this region and support our proposed geographical range along lower elevations of eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico.

Evaluamos el rango geográfico del tepezcuintle Cuniculus paca en el norte del Neotrópico a partir de registros históricos y recientes. Reportamos dos nuevos registros de C. paca para Tamaulipas e Hidalgo. Estos registros confirman su presencia en la región y también apoyan nuestra propuesta del rango geográfico a lo largo de las zonas bajas de la vertiente este de la Sierra Madre Oriental en México.
