Although this species occurs from sea level to elevations of about 2000
meters from Nayarit southward into Central America, no specimens are
known from Michoacan. Smith and Taylor (1945:87) listed the species as
occurring in Michoacan, but they had no record on which to base this
report. Probably, the species occurs on the coastal lowlands and seaward
slopes of the Sierra de Coalcoman.

~Tropidodipsas fasciata guerreroensis~ Taylor

Smith, Herpetologica, 12:16, March 6, 1956.

Duges (1896:480) reported a snake, questionably of this species, from
Uruapan, Michoacan. Taylor (1940c) suggested that on geographic grounds
Duges' record might refer to _T. f. guerreroensis_, which is known
definitely only from the type locality. _Tropidodipsas occidentala_ is
known from Comala, Colima, and Coalcoman, Michoacan. On zoogeopraphic
grounds that species might be found at Uruapan. Since the specimen
apparently no longer is extant, the identification cannot be
ascertained.

~Micrurus fitzingeri fitzingeri~ (Jan)

_Elaps fitzingeri_ Jan, Rev. Mag. Zool., p. 521,
1858.--Mexico. Type locality restricted to Guanajuato,
Guanajuato, Mexico, by Smith and Taylor (1950a:330).

_Micrurus fitzingeri fitzingeri_, Brown and Smith, Proc.
Biol. Soc. Washington, 55:63, June 25, 1942.

Smith and Taylor (1945:174) recorded the species from Zamora, Michoacan.
Hobart M. Smith (_in litt._) stated that this record was based on a
report of _Elaps fulvius_ from Zamora by Duges (1896:482). Smith guessed
that the report was based on a specimen of _Micrurus fitzingeri_. The
specimen has not been seen. Although the species is known from
Guanajuato and Mexico, until a specimen is available from Michoacan, the
species should not be considered part of the herpetofauna of Michoacan.
