Abstract

During a study of rodents at Cerro Pelón, Oaxaca, Mexico, in the northwestern portion of the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca physiographic subprovince, we collected three Chinanteco deermice Habromys chinanteco. This microendemic rodent is rare in terms of habitat and population, and had not been collected in the wild since 1975. These records corroborate continuing presence of H. chinanteco in this region.

Durante un estudio sobre roedores en la localidad de Cerro Pelón, ubicado en la parte noroeste de la subprovincia fisiográfica de la Sierra Madre de Oaxaca, México, colectamos tres individuos del pequeño ratón roedor arborícola Habromys chinanteco. Este roedor microendémico es raro en términos de hábitat y poblaciones, el cual no había sido colectado en campo desde 1975. Estos registros corroboran la continua presencia de H. chinanteco en esta región.
