Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Two Arizona Gartersnakes (Northern Mexican Gartersnake and Narrowheaded Gartersnake)  
Abstract: Under the Endangered Species Act, as amended, the FWS is required to designate critical habitat, to the maximum extent prudent and determinable, concurrent with a listing determination for a species. FWS recently listed two Arizona gartersnakes--northern Mexican gartersnake and narrowheaded gartersnake (Thamnophis eques megalops and Thamnophis rufipunctatus, respectively)--as threatened species (see RIN 1018-AY23). These highly aquatic gartersnakes occur in riparian areas in portions of Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico.
