description We present a check-list of mammals of El Chico National Park based in field surveys realized between years 2004 to 2008. The mammals identificated were 30 species and 11 are recorded for the first time in the park: Glaucomys volans, Peromyscus melanotis, Reithrodontomys megalotis, R. sumichrasti, Spilogale gracilis, Cryptotis mexicana, Sorex saussurei, Dermanura azteca, Corynorhinus towsendii, Eptesicus fuscus, Lasiurus cinereus, Myotis californicus y M. velifer. The most abundant species belonged to Rodentia and Carnivora. Threatened species account for 16.67 % of the richness (C. mexicana, S. saussurei, Sciurus oculatus, G. volans y Corynorhinus mexicanus). Mammals in this park are threatened by human settlements and excessive tourism. El Chico National Park is important for conservation and management of mammals as 23.8% of the mammalian diversity of the State of Hidalgo.

El Chico National Park is important for conservation and management of mammals as 23.8% of the mammalian diversity of the State of Hidalgo. Se presenta la lista actualizada de los mamíferos del Parque Nacional El Chico con base en el trabajo de campo realizado entre los años 2004 y 2006. Se identificaron 30 especies, 13 de ellas se registran por primera vez en el parque: Glaucomys volans, Peromyscus melanotis, Reithrodontomys megalotis, R. sumichrasti, Spilogale gracilis, Cryptotis mexicana, Sorex saussurei, Dermanura azteca, Corynorhinus towsendii, Eptesicus fuscus, Lasiurus cinereus, Myotis californicus y M. velifer. El orden mejor representado, con 10 especies (33.33 %) fue Rodentia, seguido por Carnivora con ocho especies (26.67 %). El 16.67 % de las especies están consideradas en estado de conservación delicado (C. mexicana, S. saussurei, Sciurus oculatus, G. volans y Corynorhinus mexicanus). Localmente las amenazas para la mastofauna son consecuencia de los asentamientos humanos y el turismo descontrolado. El Chico es importante para la conservación y manejo de los mamíferos de Hidalgo, porque en el habita el 23.8 % de la mastofauna estatal, no obstante su reducida extensión territorial (2,739 ha).
