Trimorphodon vilkinsonii
status

 

Trimorphodon vilkinsonii View in CoL . Baeza-Tarín et al. (2018c) first reported this species for Coahuila.

Crotalus ornatus . Anderson and Greenbaum (2012) resurrected Crotalus ornatus from the synonymy of C. molossus . Crotalus ornatus is found in most parts of Coahuila, whereas C. molossus is restricted to the extreme southern parts of the state.

Apalone atra . Apalone atra has been either regarded as a subspecies of A. spinifera View in CoL or as a species endemic to the Valley of Cuatro Ciénegas, where A. spinifera View in CoL has gained access to some areas through irrigation channels, thereby allowing some genetic introgression to take place, and driving A. atra to a level of being critically susceptible to extinction. Smith and Smith (1979) had already considered A. atra to be extinct. Recently, however, pure individuals of A. atra have been found, as well as hybrids between the two species ( Cerdá-Ardura et al. 2008). See Wilson and Johnson (2010) for a discussion on this issue. Until updated data indicate otherwise, we regard A. atra as having viable populations in the Valley of Cuatro Ciénegas, highlighting its need for conservation assessment and action.
