Ateles geoffroyi Kuhl 1820
No full textAteles geoffroyi Kuhl, 1820 Material examined. Table 2; Figure 7. Ateles geoffroyi is the only species of the Ateles genus in Mexico (Hall 1981). The very long, thin limbs, small head, and long prehensile tail make this species distinct from any other species in the region (Reid 2009).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 715, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
Dasyprocta punctata Gray 1842
No full textDasyprocta punctata Gray, 1842 Material examined. Table 2; Figure 12. Dasyprocta punctata is a large orange-brown rodent with a rounded back and long skinny legs. The study area is at the edge of this species’ distribution range (Hall 1981). However, there is a second potential species, D. mexicana Saussure, 1860 which differs from D. punctata by its black, rather than orange-brown fur. All our photographs of Dasyprocta belong to D. punctata.Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 718, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71

Puma concolor
No full textPuma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 17. Puma concolor is a large cat with a relatively small head and long legs (Reid 2009).

Cyclopes didactylus
No full textCyclopes didactylus (Linnaeus, 1758) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 6. Cyclopes didactylus is the only species of the Cyclopes genus in Mexico (Hall 1981). The small size, prehensile tail, and golden hair make this species distinct from any other species in the region (Reid 2009).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 715, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
Tamandua mexicana
No full textTamandua mexicana (Saussure, 1860) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 5. Tamandua mexicana is the only species of its genus in Mexico and Central America (Hall 1981). The longtapered snout and a blotchy, almost naked prehensile tail, in addition to the sparse golden-brown fur and the powerful forelimbs with 2 large and 2 small claws make this species unique in the region (Reid 2009).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 715, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
Dasypus novemcinctus Linnaeus 1758

Galictis vittata is a medium-sized, gray weasel having a mostly black face with a white line across the forehead to the ears and down the sides of neck (Reid 2009). This species cannot be confused with any other mammal in the region.Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 720, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
Coendou mexicanus
No full textCoendou mexicanus (Kerr, 1792) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 11. Coendou mexicanus is the only erethizontid in southern Mexico (Hall 1981). The presence of spines on most of the body make this species unique in the region (Reid 2009). We classify this species as Coendou mexicanus and not Sphiggurus mexicanus following Voss et al. (2013) and Ramirez-Pulido et al. (2014).Published as part of Hidalgo-Mihart, Mircea G., Contreras-Moreno, Fernando M., Jesús-de la Cruz, Alejandro, Juárez-López, Rugieri, Bravata de la Cruz, Yaribeth, Pérez-Solano, Luz A., Hernández-Lara, Carolina, Friedeberg, Diana, Thornton, Dan & Koller-González, Juan M., 2017, Inventory of medium-sized and large mammals in the wetlands of Laguna de Terminos and Pantanos de Centla, Mexico, pp. 711-726 in Check List 13 (6) on page 718, DOI: 10.15560/13.6.71
