Appendix B Comprehensive Species List A comprehensive list of species (including plant, macro-lichen, bird, insect, and animal species) that have population or habitat concerns and that are found in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma was developed. This list includes 1,655 species and was developed using: 1. Lists maintained under the Ecological Services Agency of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (US FWS 2007a, US FWS 2007b, US FWS 2007c), 2. Species ranks maintained by NatureServe (US FWS 2007b), 3. New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma State lists (NMDGF 2006a, ODWC 2007, TPWD 2007a, CWCS priority lists), 4. Species for which there are local concerns resulting from declines in habitat, population, and/or distribution (ODWC 2005, NMDGF 2006b, TPWD 2007b), 5. Species that are of high public interest, and 6. Species that have emerging issues (such as invasive species). Taxon: A = amphibian, B = bird, C = crustacean, F = fish, In = insect, L = lichen, Lv = liverwort, M = mammal, Mo = moss, Ms = mussel, P = plant, R = reptile, Sp = spider Background Color Green: Are the species found on Cibola National Grasslands Occurs on Scientific Name Common Name Taxon Grasslands?

Abstract The collection of type specimens of the family Carabidae (Coleoptera) deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain.— The type collection of the family Carabidae (Coleop- tera) deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain, has been organised, revised and documented. It contains 430 type specimens belonging to 155 different taxa. Of note are the large number of hypogean species, the species of Cicindelidae from Asenci Codina’s collection, and the species of Harpalinae extracted from Jacques Nègre’s collec- tion. In this paper we provide all the available information related to these type specimens. We therefore provide the following information for each taxon, species or subspecies: the original and current taxonomic status, original citation of type materials, exact transcription of original labels, and preservation condition of specimens. Moreover, the differences between original descriptions and labels are discussed. When a taxonomic change has occurred, the references that examine those changes are included at the end of the taxa description. Key words: Collection type, Coleoptera, Carabidae taxonomic revision family, Ground beetles.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

Boots on the Ground a history of fort bascom in the canadian river valley James Blackshear n 1863 the Union Army in New Mexico Territory, prompted by fears of a Isecond Rebel invasion from Texas and its desire to check incursions by southern Plains Indians, built Fort Bascom on the south bank of the Canadian River. The U.S. Army placed the fort about eleven miles north of present-day Tucumcari, New Mexico, a day’s ride from the western edge of the Llano Estacado (see map 1). Fort Bascom operated as a permanent post from 1863 to 1870. From late 1870 through most of 1874, it functioned as an extension of Fort Union, and served as a base of operations for patrols in New Mexico and expeditions into Texas. Fort Bascom has garnered little scholarly interest despite its historical signifi cance.
  • Courtship and Oviposition Patterns of Two Agathymus (Megathymidae)

    Courtship and Oviposition Patterns of Two Agathymus (Megathymidae)

    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(3). 1985. 171-176 COURTSHIP AND OVIPOSITION PATTERNS OF TWO AGATHYMUS (MEGATHYMIDAE) DON B. STALLINGS AND VIOLA N. T. STALLINGS P.O. Box 106, 616 W. Central, Caldwell, Kansas 67022 AND J. R. TURNER AND BEULAH R. TURNER 2 South Boyd, Caldwell, Kansas 67022 ABSTRACT. Males of Agathymus estelleae take courtship sentry positions near ten­ eral virgin females long before the females are ready to mate. Males of Agathymus mariae are territorial and pursue virgin females that approach their territories. Ovipo­ sition patterns of the two species are very similar. Females alight on or near the plants to oviposit and do not drop ova in flight. Few detailed observations of the courtship and oviposition of the skipper butterflies in natural environments have been published. For the family Megathymidae Freeman (1951), Roever (1965) (and see Toliver, 1968) described mating and oviposition of some Southwestern U.S. Agathymus, and over a hundred years ago (1876) Riley published an excellent paper on the life history of Megathymus yuccae (Bois­ duval & LeConte) which included data on oviposition of the female; otherwise, only the scantiest comments have been made. C. L. Rem­ ington (pers. comm.) and others tell us that there is a significant pos­ sibility that the Hesperioidea are less closely related to the true but­ terflies (Papilionoidea) than to certain other Lepidoptera and even that the Megathymidae may not be phylogenetically linked to the Hesper­ iidae. For several years we have been making on-the-scene studies of these two aspects of megathymid behavior, both for their interest in understanding the whole ecology of these insects and for their possible reflection on higher relationships.
