Notes
Park Species Detail: per Platenberg & Graham 2003: "Voucher specimen". It seems that Platenberg & Graham were unable to confirm this voucher as M. taeniatus which is why they listed park status as Probably Present instead of Present in Park. However, Graham, 2000 lists this species as K, K = known to occur in park based on personal observation or recent, reliable record. Need to resolve at Certification. At Certification, it was decided to list this as Probably Present, and try to confirm the voucher. George Oliver (zoologist, UDWR) confirmed this species in the park in 2005., Park Species Data Source: Platenberg and Graham 2003, Bibkey #548504
