Holotypes Of Recent Mammals In The Museum Of Natural History, The University Of Kansas, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Various museums in recent years have published lists of type specimens housed in their collections. Such lists provide a useful point of reference for systematists and, for that reason, have been encouraged by the International Council of Museums. In 1968, that organization issued "A preliminary list of catalogues of type specimens in zoology and palaeontology," compiled by A. W. F. Banfield, and a revised list is planned for 1971. This catalogue of holotypes of mammals in the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History is particularly appropriate for the present volume, because Professor E. Raymond Hall was directly responsible for …

Systematic Status Of The Mastiff Bat, Eumops Perotis Renatae Pirlot, 1965, James D. Smith, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The mastiff bat, Eumops perotis renatae, described by Pirlot in 1966 and later elevated to specific status by the same author is herein regarded as junior synonym of Eumops perotis perotis (Schinz, 1821). Earlier reports of large Eumops from South America are reviewed in light of the present understanding of the relationship between Eumops perotis and E. trurnbulli.

Distribution Of The Porcupine, Erethizon Dorsatum, In Mexico, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The first Recent record of the porcupine, Erethizon dorsatum, from Mexico comprised fragmentary remains associated with human occupancy from a cave east of Cuatro Cienegas, Coahuila (Gilmore, 1947: 158-159). Later, Benson (1953 : 511-512) reported two specimens from western Sonora from < the lower flood plain of the Rio Sonora, close to the Gulf of California >> (one from 6 miles N Puerto Kino and the other from Rancho Santa Ana, about 45 miles W Hermosillo), and Dickerman (1962: 108) recorded the species from Hda. Las Margaritas in northern Coahuila. No additional reports of Recent porcupines from Mexico have come to our attention, and four specimens of Erethizon dorsatum couesi Mearns, 1897, in the Museum …

Notes On Bats From The Mexican State Of Zacatecas, Hugh H. Genoways, J. Knox Jones Jr.

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Much of the Mexican state of Zacatecas lies in the area ascribed to the Mexican Plateau. Along the western border and in the southwest, however, the state encompasses a portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental, and perhaps more importantly, from a zoogeographic view, the Rio Juchipila, a major tributary of the Rio Grande de Santiago, drains the southern "panhandle." The valley of the Juchipila supports tropical vegetation as perhaps do the valleys of several other smaller tributaries of the Rio Grande that barely reach the southern part of the state. The setting of southern Zacatecas suggests, therefore, considerable faunal diversity.

A Brief History Of The Namru-3 Medical Zoology Program, Harry Hoogstraal

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

The NAMRU-3 Medical Zoology program began during Easter week of 1950. We had just closed the NAMRU-3 field station at Torit, in Equatoria Province of soulheastern Sudan, and were heading homeward to the United States. However, the offer to remain in Egypt for a year or two to develop a Medical Zoology department at NAMRU-3 provided an interesting challenge after working for several years in tropical forests and grasslands of Africa and other continents. We shall briefly describe subsequent events under four headings: (1) Medical Zoology in Egypt, (2) Ticks and Tickborne Diseases of the World, (3) Kala Azar in …

Pasożyły Przewodu Pokarmowego I Płuc Zajęcy Woj. Białostockiego, Stefan Wieczorowski

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

English summary

Wieczorowski S. - The alimentary tract and the lungs parasites in hares in Białystok voivodship

87 parasitic sections were made of hares coming from Białystok voivodship territory. The investigations lead to the conclusion that the hares are 100 percent invaded by parasites. Among the roundworms of the alimentary tract, the most frequent are the following: Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (78.1 percent) and Trichocephalus sylvilagi (43 percent). Coccidiosis is also widespread; it was found in 77 percent of the investigated animals.

Notes On Spotted Skunks (Genus Spilogale) From Western Mexico, Hugh H. Genoways, J. Knox Jones Jr.

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Specimens of spotted skunks acquired from western Mexico by the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas in the past two decades add substantially to the knowledge of the species occurring in that region. Two specimens of the rare Spilogale pygmaea (one from Sinaloa and one from Oaxaca) are reported for the first time. Two subspecies of pygmy spotted skunk are recognized - S. p. pygmaea Thomas with type locality at Rosario, Sinaloa, and S. p. australis Hall with type locality at Acapulco, Guerrero.

The large spotted skunk, Spilogalepusorius, varies clinally in size form north (larger) to …

A New Species Of Shrew (Genus Cryptotis) From Jalisco, Mexico (Mammalia: Insectivora), Hugh H. Genoways, Jerry R. Choate

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

From July 6 to 11, 1966, vertebrates were collected on Volcan de Fuego, Jalisco, for the Museum of Natural History,the University of Kansas, by Hugh H. Genoways and Percy L. Clifton. On July 10, a shrew of the genus Cryptotis was obtained on a steep slope across the valley to the north of the active cone of the volcano. The specimen was caught in a steel trap placed in the tunnel of a pocket gopher; because the opening had not been covered after the trap was set, it could not be determined whether the shrew was using the tunnel as …

Annotated Checklist Of Bats From South Dakota, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Excepting the generalized accounts of Over and Churchill (1945), no attempt has been made previously to summarize the distribution of bats in South Dakota. In 1960, 1961, and again in 1965, field parties from the Museum of Natural History of The University of Kansas collected mammals in that state. Bats obtained by these parties, together with those on deposit in other institutions and the few specimens earlier reported from South Dakota by other workers (see cited literature), form the basis of the present report. Eleven species are here treated; two of these are represented in the state by two subspecies. …

Notes On The Oaxacan Vole, Microtus Oaxacensis Goodwin, 1966, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Goodwin (American Museum Novitates, 2243: 1-4, 1966) named Microtus oaxacensis on the basis of a single male taken in "evergreen rain forest at Tarahundi, a ranch near the village of Vista Hermosa," at an altitude of "about 5,000 feet" in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. On June 25, 1964, members of a field party from the Museum of Natural History, The University of Kansas, obtained two adult voles referable to oaxacensis in "dense cloud forest" southwest of Vista Hermosa (approximately 25 kilometers to the south of the type locality) as follows: male (KU 100046) from 6% miles SSW Vista Hermosa, …

A New Subspecies Of The Fringe-Tailed Bat, Myotis Thysanodes, From The Black Hills Of South Dakota And Wyoming, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

A new subspecies of Myotis thysanodes, possibly representing a disjunct population, is described from the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. The new race is compared with M. t. thysanodes and also with Myotis evotis evotis, which it superficially resembles.

Notes On Some Mammals From Nebraska, Jerry R. Choate, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

In the course of field studies in Nebraska, several noteworthy records of mammals have been obtained that add significantly to their known distribution, as shown by Jones (1964) in his "Distribution and taxonomy of mammals of Nebraska." In the following accounts all catalogue numbers refer to specimens deposited in The University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. Parenthetical page references refer to Jones (1964) unless otherwise indicated.

Second Record Of Myotis Volans From North Dakota, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The first record of the long-legged myotis, Myotis volans interior, in North Dakota was reported by Jones and Genoways (Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., 69:89, 1966) on the basis of a single male from 1 mi. S and 1 mi. W Medora, Billings County. On 25 May 1966, nine adult females (KU 106932-40) of this bat were obtained by Donald R. Johnson in Granville, McHenry County. These specimens extend the known geographic distribution of M. v. interior approximately 160 miles to the northeast from the previously reported North Dakotan locality and represent the northeastern most locality of record for the …

Taxonomic Status Of The Brush Mouse, Peromyscus Boylii Cansensis Long, 1961, Jerry R. Choate, Carleton J. Phillips, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

In the course of a study of mammals from southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma, the authors have collected specimens of the brush mouse, Peromyscus boylii cansensis Long, from its type locality and also from a place about 16 miles southwest of the type locality. The results of studies of these specimens, and of the holotype and paratypes of the subspecies, are presented and discussed herein.

Records Of Bats From Western North Dakota, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

From June 16 to 19 and again from June 24 to 29, 1965, a field party from the Museum of Natural History of The University of Kansas collected mammals along the Little Missouri River at a place 1 mi. S and 1 mi. W Medora, Billings Co., North Dakota. Among the specimens collected were representatives of five kinds of bats, including one species unreported from North Dakota, a subspecies unrecorded from there, and two species known previously from the state by a single specimen each.

Northward Dispersal Of The Hispid Cotton Rat In Nebraska And Missouri, Hugh H. Genoways, Duane A. Schlitter

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Cockrum (1948 : 306-312 and 1952 : 184-187) summarized the northward movement of the hispid cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus texianus, in Kansas. He showed that between 1933 and 1947 the cotton rat extended its distribution northward approximately 100 miles-from Greenwood and Allen counties north to Brown County, an average distance of seven miles per year. As of 1952, the northernmost record for the species was 5 mi. S Hiawatha, Brown County (obtained 29 November 1947), in northeastern Kansas. Trapping between 1945 and 1947 in Mitchell, Norton, and Thomas counties, in the central and western parts of northern Kansas, and …
