Abstract

We rediscovered and confirmed, after a span of 79 years, the presence of the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Crotalus atrox in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The record is based on six specimens found in an anthropized environment within the Base Aérea Militar II located in Ciudad Ixtepec, in the municipality of Asunción Ixtaltepec within the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region.
