_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Tropical area, reported only from Soto la Marina (Miller and Kellogg, 1955:806) and Savinito Tierre [= Tierra] Caliente (J. A. Allen, 1881:184) and Tampico (_ibid._) as _Cariacus virginia.n.u.s mexica.n.u.s_.
=Mazama americana temama= (Kerr)
Red Brocket
1782. _Cervus temama_ Kerr, The Animal kingdom ..., p. 303.
Type locality, restricted to Mirador, Veracruz, by Hershkovitz (Fieldiana-Zool., Chicago Nat. Hist. Mus., 31:567, July 10, 1951).
1951. _Mazama americana temama_, Hershkovitz.
Fieldiana-Zool., Chicago Nat. Hist. Mus., 31:567, July 10.
_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Southern part of state in tropical area.
The specimen examined is conspicuously darker than specimens from Veracruz and Chiapas, being especially more brownish and less reddish.
_Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined from Rancho Pano Ayuctle (skin only).
Additional records: Alta Cima (Goodwin, 1954:15); Rancho del Cielo (Hooper, 1953:10).
=Antilocapra americana mexicana= Merriam
p.r.o.nghorn
1901. _Antilocapra americana mexicana_ Merriam, Proc. Biol.
Soc. Washington, 14:31, April 5, type from Sierra en Media, Chihuahua.
_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Originally in the northern part of state; now absent from Tamaulipas.
_Antilocapra_ is here included on the basis of a skull recorded by Baird (1858:669) from Matamoros. J. A. Allen (1881:184) doubted the occurrence of this animal in Tamaulipas because Dr. Palmer found no indications of the presence of _Antilocapra_ in any portion of the area that he traversed, which apparently was only southern Tamaulipas.
I am sure that the p.r.o.nghorn is extinct in Tamaulipas, but its occurrence in the northern part of the state in relatively recent time (more than 100 years ago) seems possible because the habitat in northern Tamaulipas is suitable for the p.r.o.nghorn.
