Antilocapra americana mexicana Merriam
Pronghorn
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.
