We present new records to the geographical distribution of Emerald Horned Pitviper Ophryacus smaragdinus, in the central part of the state of Veracruz. The locations of specimens were performed within ecosystems pine-oak forest and mountain cloud forest in four municipalities along of the Sierra Madre Oriental (Xico, Coacoatzintla, Rafael Lucio and Tlacolulan). The study contributes to knowledge about their ecology and geographical distribution in the state of Veracruz.

We report three new records of the snake Leptophis diplotropis from the southeastern and northern regions of Hidalgo State, México. These records represent the first observations of this species in the state of Hidalgo, and represent a range extension of 122.7 km north from the nearest record in Tochimilco, Puebla, México. These new records of L. diplotropis represent the best knowledge of its distribution in the Sierra Madre Oriental.

Otatea, with 12 described species, is the second most diverse genus in the subtribe Guaduinae. Eleven species of Otatea occur in Mexico, of which 10 are endemic. The Mexican Otatea species grow in tropical dry forest, the ecotone between tropical dry forest and oak forest, cloud forest, humid oak-pine forest, and xerophilous scrubs. Here, we describe the synflorescence and flowers of Otatea nayeeri and O. transvolcanica, based on newly collected specimens and review of existing herbarium material. We present a key based on the flowering characters of the Mexican Otatea species, and provide expanded morphological descriptions and illustrations of O. nayeeri and O. transvolcanica. Otatea nayeeri and O. transvolcanica do not exhibit the gregarious monocarpic flowering pattern that has been recorded for other Otatea species. A flowering individual of O. transvolcanica was observed being visited by a Lasioglossum (Dialictus) sp. (Halictidae) bee. This is the first record for Otatea being visited by bees. The geographical distribution of O. nayeeri is extended northwards to the state of Durango in Mexico.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Derived from the study of the mycobiota associated with <em>Quercus oleoides </em>Schltdl. et Cham., tropical oaks have been explored in Tabasco, finding great diversity in numerous fungal groups, such as boletoids macromycetes.</p><p><strong>Question: </strong>What is the diversity of the mycobiota of Boletales poroides associated with tropical oaks of Tabasco?</p><p><strong>Species Study: </strong>Order Boletales</p><p><strong>Study sites and date: </strong>municipality of Balancán in the state of Tabasco, 2012 – 2016.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Collections of boletoid fungi associated with <em>Q. oleoides</em> were carried out according to conventional mycology techniques for taxonomic identification, a dichotomous key of the species found was performed and their geographical distribution was analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Up to now, nine species assigned to five genera and two families of boletoid macromycetes have been identified.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>All species are new records for the State, thus expanding its geographic distribution, it is the first record of macromycetes associated with tropical holm oaks in southeastern Mexico.</p>

In Puebla, the distribution of Central American red brocket deer (Mazama temama) is unknown due lack of studies. With interviews and field work, we got 30 new records for the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Negra. Our results give information about its distribution, including areas where it was considered extinct. This confirms the necessity to generate a strategy for its conservation in the state.

We recorded five jaguar skulls (Figure 1); four were placed in the physiographic subprovince of the Sierra Madre of Oaxaca, and one in the Pacific Coastal Plain (Ortíz-Pérez et al. 2004). Three individuals were hunted in cloud forest, one in pasture for livestock contiguous to oak forest, and the other in an area with a mixture of semi-deciduous tropical forest and coffee crops. Three skulls were recorded above 1000 masl, one was placed at 800 masl and the other at 300 masl. The individuals were killed due to jaguar-livestock conflicts.

ABSTRACTIn this note we present two new records of jaguar (Panthera onca) for the cloud forest of the Sierra Hidalguense region. These new records confirm the presence of the jaguar in this region, and evidence that some wild areas of Hidalgo State potentially have suitable conditions for the species persistence. We discuss the potential of the Sierra Hidalguense region to provide connectivity between the jaguar populations in the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico. It is necessary to improve the knowledge of jaguar distribution in the Hidalgo State to implement appropriate conservation plans for the species in eastern Mexico. Key words: Conservation, Hidalgo, La Misión, Panthera onca, Sierra Gorda.

This article provides new records to Ceratophrys joazeirensis of two new localities from the state of Sergipe, northeast Brazil. These records extend the geographical distribution of the species for municipalities from Poço Redondo and Canindé do São Franscisco. These points are the first records of Ceratophrys joazeirensis for the State of Sergipe.

The cloud forest of Molocotlán indudes part of two municipalities of the Hidalgo State, Molango and Xochicoatlán, and is located in the Huasteca region in the Sierra Madre Oriental. Arboreal vegetation is divided in three vertical strata: high (20-30 m), medium (8-20 m) , and lower (2 -8 m). The flora of the area includes 391 species, 270 genera, and 112 families. Genera are grouped according to their present distribution in six categories; a high percentaje of them are exclusively American.

This study on the vespid fauna (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) reports 33 species belonging to 22 genera and four subfamilies from the state of Goa, India. Of these, 26 species, 18 genera, and two subfamilies are newly recorded from Goa. Illustrated keys to the genera and species of vespid wasps of Goa along with notes on their geographical distribution are provided.
