imann and Rabb

_Geoemyda rubida perixantha_ Mosimann and Rabb, Occ. Pap.
Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, 548:1, November 9, 1953.--Eight
kilometers south of Tecoman, Colima, Mexico.

Apatzingan (2); Coahuayana; La Placita; Punta San Juan de
Lima.

These specimens have been discussed in detail by Mosimann and Rabb
(1953). All are from the arid tropical scrub forest; those from the
coastal regions were collected at elevations of less than 40 meters, and
those from the Tepalcatepec Valley were collected at an elevation of 335
meters.

Crocodilia

~Crocodylus acutus acutus~ Cuvier

_Crocodylus acutus_ Cuvier, Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris,
10:55, 1807.--Santo Domingo.

_Crocodylus acutus acutus_, Mueller and Hellmich,
Ibero-Amerik. Stud., 13:128, 1940.

Boca de Apiza (2); Playa Azul (2).

The crocodile or "caiman" is abundant in the brackish lagoons along the
cost of Michoacan; three large adults and several juveniles were
observed at Estero Pichi at Playa Azul; others were seen at Mexiquillo
and Maruata. Residents of the Balsas-Tepalcatepec Basin frequently have
reported "caimanes" in the Rio Balsas and Rio Tepalcatepec, but the
existence of the crocodile in these rivers has not been verified by
specimens.

Sauria

~Phyllodactylus duellmani~ Dixon

_Phyllodactylus duellmani_ Dixon, Southwest Nat., 5:37,
April 15, 1960.--Rancho El Espinal, Michoacan, Mexico.

Fourteen km. SSW of Apatzingan; Capirio; Cafradia (3); El
Espinal (3).

This species is known only from the Tepalcatepec Valley, where it has
been found in open arid situations from 180 to 500 meters. Specimens
were found in the daytime in stumps, dead cacti, and the hollow branches
of the legume, _Apoplanesia paniculata_. In life adults were pale gray
or grayish tan above and creamy white below. A juvenile having a
snout-vent length of 18 mm. had a pale orange tail with gray
cross-bands. In the adults the tail was colored like the body. The
specimen from 14 kilometers south-southwest of Apatzingan (KU 29764) and
those from Cofradia (BMNH 1914.1.28.28-30) were not listed by Dixon
(1960).
