Procyon lotor hernandezii Wagler
1831. Pr[ocyon]. hernandezii Wagler, Isis von Oken, 24:514, type from Tlalpan, Valley of Mexico.
1890. Procyon lotor hernandezi, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 3:176, December 10.
Distribution in Tamaulipas.—Western part of state; known only from Rancho Santa Rosa.
The specimen examined is identified as P. l. hernandezii because the animal differs from specimens of P. l. fuscipes from southern Texas and Coahuila in the same way that Goldman (1950:50) noted that P. l. hernandezii differs from P. l. fuscipes. For example, in the specimen from Rancho Santa Rosa the interorbital region is lower, the braincase is less depressed near the fronto-parietal suture, the postorbital process is longer and more pointed, and the upper carnassial is longer. The color is the same as in specimens of fuscipes from Texas except that the postauricular spot is smaller, and the ground color is slightly more grayish. The median dorsal area is black, forming a longitudinal band about 3 cm. wide.
Record of occurrence.—One specimen examined from Rancho Santa Rosa, 25 km. N, 13 km. W Cd. Victoria.
