Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Шаблон:More citations neededCrotalus stejnegeri, commonly known as the Sinaloan long-tailed rattlesnake or just long-tailed rattlesnake,[1][2] is a venomous pit viper species in the family Viperidae. The species is native to western Mexico. There are no recognized subspecies.[3]

Etymology

The specific name, stejnegeri, is in honor of Leonhard Stejneger, herpetologist at the Smithsonian Institution for over 60 years.[4][5]

Description

Шаблон:Primary sources Adults of C. stejnegeri do not usually grow to more than Шаблон:Convert in total length (including tail). The greatest total length recorded for a specimen is Шаблон:Convert.[6] The tail is relatively long, representing 11.0-14.8% of the total length of adult male snakes and 9.8-12.5% in females. Klauber (1940) suggested that since the rattle is tiny, it is probably not audible. A very rare species, there have only been 12 specimens found.[1]Шаблон:Update inline

Geographic range and habitat

C. stejnegeri is found in western Mexico in the mountains and foothills of eastern Sinaloa, western Durango, and small areas in northern Nayarit, between Шаблон:Convert in altitude. The type locality given is "Plumosas [Plomosas], Sinaloa, Mexico".[7] It occurs in pine-oak forest, subtropical dry forest, and tropical deciduous forest.[7]

Conservation status

Шаблон:Primary sources C. stejnegeri is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with the following criteria: B1ab(iii) (v3.1, 2001).[8] A species is listed as such when the best available evidence indicates its extent of occurrence is estimated to be less than 20,000 km2 (7,720 mi2), estimates indicate it is severely fragmented or known to exist at no more than 10 locations, and a continuing decline has been observed, inferred, or projected in its area, extent, and/or quality of habitat. Therefore, it is considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. The population trend was down when assessed in 2007.[9]Шаблон:Update inline
