Abstract

The catalogue of type specimens of vertebrate taxa based on fossil specimens from the San Josecito Cave, Nuevo León, México, is presented. For each species it is provided the original dia g- nosis, measurements, remarks, and the current taxonomic and nomenclatural status. Two genera and 14 species were described between 1940 and 1997, from which six species are still valid, while the genera and eight species were reassigned as synonyms of present genera and species.
