Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

Xenosaurus Phalaroanthereon Nieto-Montes De Oca, Campbell, and Flores-Villela, 2001
Xenosaurus phalaroanthereon Nieto-Montes de Oca, Campbell, and Flores-Villela, 2001. This knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the state of Oaxaca, where it occurs in the Montañas y Valles del Centro and Sierra Madre del Sur physiographic provinces at elevations from 1,670 (García- Padilla and Mata-Silva, 2014) to 2,185 m. Individuals of this live-bearing species occupy the interior of crevices, usually singly, in small granite boulders located on hillsides covered with oak and pine-oak forest. Populations persist, however, at sites converted to agricultural use, such as cornfields (Lemos-Espinal and Smith, 2005). Its EVS is calculated as 16, which places it in the middle portion of the high vulnerability category (Wilson et al., 2013a), and its IUCN status is Data Deficient. This species is one of 10 members of the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to Mesoamerica. All but one of the species is endemic to Mexico.

Verdugo+Garza , Institute de Biologĭa, Departamento de Zoologĭa, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Apartado Postal 70-153, 04510 México, D.F. studied in Reproductive behavior of Palaemnema desiderata Selys was Southeastern Veracruz, Mexico. Sperm translocation, copula, oviposition and certain of behavior and described and aspects aggressive territoriality are of the used for is a list plants oviposition presented. INTRODUCTION The genus Palaemnema Selys is of interest because it is the only genus of Platystictidae represented in America. CALVERT (1931) defined the geographic range of the genus and P.mentioned that in Mexico it is represented by: P. desiderata Selys, domina Calvert, P. paulicaxa Calvert, P. paulicoba Calvert, P. paulitaba Calvert P. Calvert. and paulitoyaca Donnelly (pers. comm., 1980) also mentioned the occurrence in Mexico of P. nathalia Selys and P. paul- ina (Drury) as well as some other species of Palaemnema not yet described. P. desiderata and P. paulitoyaca coexist sympatrically at the stream where the observations were made. Both species are very sim- ilar morphologically and sometimes are found at the same reproduc- tive their field colonies, making separation during observations very difficult. In the this paper sequence of events involved in the reproductive behavior of Palaemnema desiderata, whose females oviposit in non- aquatic woody plants, is analysed. 56 E. Gonzalez Soriano et al. METHODS The study was conducted at a stream near Jicacal Beach, 30 km NE of Catemaco in the region of “Los Tuxtlas” in southeastern Vera- cruz, Mexico (18°34’ - 18°36’ N. -

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -
