Zusammenfassung:During May 2009–June 2010, we obtained five photographs of different margays (Leopardus wiedii) and photographs of two different bobcats (Lynx rufus) in tropical dry forests at Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de Huautla, Morelos, Mexico. These are the first confirmed records of the margay in Morelos and of the bobcat in the reserve. Records of the margay represent an expansion of its known range in central Mexico. Entre mayo 2009 y junio 2010, registramos cinco fotos de diferentes margayes (Leopardus wiedii) y dos fotos de diferentes gatos monteses (Lynx rufus) en sitios de selva baja caducifolia en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de Huautla, Morelos, México. Estos registros son la primera evidencia confirmada del margay en Morelos y del gato montés en la reserva. Los registros de margay expanden su rango conocido en el centro de México.
