) show great differences in the dung beetle fauna of the Sierra Norte and the Sierra Sur. The Sierra Norte shows considerable influence from elements stemming from the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt (

mean altitude calculations of 1800 m for both species may be incorrect, and therefore it is probable that their calculations of the other climatic variables (temperature and precipitation), and distribution predictions, also would be erroneous.
