AGUILAR-LOPEZ, Melany et al. Noteworthy records of terrestrial mammals from state of Hidalgo, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.3, pp.403-411. ISSN 2448-8445.

We documented the presence of nine mammal species, which are not well known to the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The specimens were captured or registered during fieldwork that was conducted between November 2007 to May 2011, as well as January to April 2015 in 28 municipalities of Hidalgo. Information about distribution, somatic measurements, reproductive status and habitat is provided for each specimen. Six of the nine species reported in this study represent the first records for the state: Leopardus wiedii, Eira barbara, Lontra longicaudis, Orthogeomys hispidus, Peromyscus beatae y Peromyscus hylocetes.

Keywords : distribution; habitat; mammals; first records; richness.
