  • New Records of Castniidae (Lepidoptera) from Queretaro and Tamaulipas, Mexico
    NiñoISSN Maldonado0065-1737 et al.: Registros de Castniidae en QuerétaroActa y Tamaulipas Zoológica Mexicana (n.s.), 29(2): 452-453 (2013) Nota Científica (Short Communication) NEW RECORDS OF CASTNIIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) FROM QUERETARO AND TAMAULIPAS, MEXICO Niño Maldonado, S., De León González, E. I., Miller, J. Y. & Sánchez Reyes, U. J. 2013. Nuevos registros de Castniidae (Lepidoptera) para los estados de Querétaro y Tamaulipas, México. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n. s.), 29(2): 452-453. RESUMEN. Se colectaron nueve ejemplares pertenecientes a dos especies de la familia Castniidae: Athis delecta (Shaus, 1911) (un ejemplar) fue registrada en vegetación de Matorral y Athis inca oriza- bensis (Strand, 1913) (ocho ejemplares) en Selva baja subcaducifolia con elementos de Encino y Bosque mesófilo. Athis delecta representa un nuevo registro para Tamaulipas, mientras que la segunda especie se reafirma para Tamaulipas, pero es nuevo registro para Querétaro. The taxonomic knowledge of this family is limited mainly because they are very rare in natural ecosystems, their endemism, small geographical distribution, scarcity of specimens in scientific collections (Miller 1972, González & Fernández-Yépez 1993, Lamas 1993), and also there are limited studies on the group. Castniid moths are medium to large in size, from 20 to 110 mm; they are related to Cossidae and Hesperiidae, the distal portion of the antenna is similar to that of the Hesperiidae with a club and apiculus and the presence of three cubital veins on the wings. Few species are dimorphic in coloration although both sexes are similar in appearance (Miller 2000). At present almost 90 species belonging to 33 genera are recognized, even though some authors mention up to 106 different species (Lamas 1995, Miller 2000, González et al.

  • Yellow-Headed Vulture in Tamaulipas, Mexico
    May, 1954 FROM FIELD AN’D STUDY 165 455), however, found that 10 per cent of 243 goldfinch nests were built in Cornus stohijeya in south- ern Michigan, and Stokes (Wilson Bull., 62, 1950: 118) found goldfinch nests “commonly placed in red-o&r dogwood” in Wisconsin. The same bush has been used as a nest site by one or all three of the species in successive years. In several instances, in a single summer, either two or three of the species discussed here have built in the same clump or thicket or in nearby bushes. One especially interesting example of nest site association, in panicled dogwood, was observed at Geddes Pond in 1952. On June 10, I found a Yellow Warbler nest with three young estimated to be four or five days old; a Trail1 Flycatcher nest was under construction in the same clump of dogwood 53 inches from the warbler nest. Three young flycatchers hatched on July 3 or 4. An American Gold- finch nest, begun about August 15, was placed 40 inches from the Trail1 Flycatcher nest and 23 inches from the Yellow Warbler nest. In 1953 both Yellow Warblers and Trail1 Flycatchers nested again in this same clump of dogwood. I did not visit the area until July 7, 1953, at which time the one remain- ing flycatcher flew from the nest at my approach; the warbler nest had been empty for some time. At the University Botanical Gardens, two young flycatchers left their nest in a privet hedge on July 30, 1953. On August 20, I first noted a complete, empty goldfinch nest, in the same hedge, 40 inches from the flycatcher nest.

  • Del Rio Acuña Nuevo Laredo Laredo Eagle Pass Piedras Negras
    Del Rio Acuña Eagle Pass Piedras Negras Laredo Nuevo Laredo Laredo-Coahuila/Nuevo León/Tamaulipas Border Master Plan Executive Summary Introduction Border Master Plans, as defined and supported by the U.S./Mexico Joint Working Committee on Transportation Planning and Programming, the Federal Highway Administration, and the U.S. Department of State, are comprehensive long range plans to inventory transportation and port of entry (POE) infrastructure that facilitate trade, and prioritize planned transportation and POE projects within a defined study area. The Border Master Plans represent binational stakeholder efforts to (i) prioritize and promote POE and related transportation projects; (ii) inform decision-making; (iii) allocate limited funding sources, and (iv) ensure continued dialogue and coordination on future POE and supporting transportation infrastructure needs and projects. The Laredo-Coahuila/Nuevo León/Tamaulipas Border Master Plan (Border Master Plan) is the second Border Master Plan that on the U.S.-Mexico border and followed a similar approach as the California-Baja California Border Master Plan. The objectives of the Laredo-Coahuila/Nuevo León/Tamaulipas Border Master Plan were to: design a stakeholder agency involvement process that is inclusive and ensure the participation of all involved in POE projects and the transportation infrastructure serving those POEs; increase the understanding of the POE and transportation planning processes on both sides of the border; develop and implement a plan for prioritizing and promoting POE and related transportation projects, including evaluation criteria and rankings over the short, medium and long term; and establish a process to ensure continued dialogue among federal, state, regional, and local stakeholder agencies in Texas and Mexico to ensure continued coordination on current and future POE and supporting transportation infrastructure needs and projects.

  • Nuevo Laredo District
    TAMAULIPAS REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES ON DEATH CASES The State of Tamaulipas, Mexico does not have an official morgue. Instead, the government has an agreement with local funeral homes that function as morgues for all death cases. State regulations do not specify a term for interment, and funeral homes may keep the remains for varying amounts of time, depending on if the body is embalmed. The two funeral homes that work with the state government as morgues in Nuevo Laredo are: Funeraria Valdez 2161 Campeche Phone: 011-52-867-719-0402 (dialing from the U.S.) Funeraria La Paz 3352 Francisco I. Madero Phone: 011-52-867-712-0212 (dialing from the U.S.) CREMATION Cremation costs are approximately $1,000.00 USD, which includes processing the proper documentation (death registration, death certificate, and the permit from Secretary of Health). The remains are preserved in a simple plastic container. If the family wants a different type of container, they may purchase one separately. The funeral home can ship the ashes through the services of a courier company, for which the family would incur an additional cost. SHIPMENT OF REMAINS TO THE U.S. The best option for shipments of remains to the United States is to contact a funeral home located in Laredo, Texas, who can then work with the funeral home in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico throughout the entire process. Once the remains are in Texas, they can be transferred to any city in the United States. Mexican funeral homes charge approximately $1,200.00 USD, which includes a simple casket, embalming, documentation, and shipment to Texas.

  • Mexico's Ten Most Iconic Endangered Species
    Alejandro Olivera Center for Biological Diversity, April 2018 Executive summary exico is one of the world’s most biologically rich nations, with diverse landscapes that are home to a treasure trove of wildlife, including plant and animal species found nowhere else. Sadly, in Mexico and Maround the world, species are becoming extinct because of human activities at rates never seen before. In this report we highlight the threats facing Mexico’s 10 most iconic endangered species to help illustrate the broader risks confronting the country’s imperiled plants and animals. These 10 species — which in most cases are protected only on paper — were chosen to reflect Mexico’s diversity of wildlife and ecosystems and the wide range of threats to the country’s biodiversity. New awareness of these unique animals and plants is critical to inspiring a nationwide demand to protect these critical components of Mexico’s natural heritage. Although the Mexican government began officially listing and protecting species as extinct, threatened, endangered, and “under special protection” in 1994 — more than 20 years ago — few species have actually recovered, and many critical threats continue unabated. In many cases, officials are failing to enforce crucial laws and regulations that would protect these species. Additionally, the Mexican government has not updated its official list of imperiled species, referred to as NOM059, since 2010, despite new and growing risks from climate change, habitat destruction, the wildlife trade and in some cases direct killing. This failure obscures the true plight of the nation’s endangered wildlife. The following 10 iconic endangered species are not adequately protected by the Mexican government: 1.
