Federal Register Fixes Spelling for 43 Imperiled Species

## Summary

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is updating the official lists for 43 endangered and threatened wildlife and plant species, mostly in California and Nevada, to fix names and spelling based on the latest science. These are just technical fixes—no changes to protections or rules. The updates take effect February 4, 2027, unless people send in serious objections by December 7, 2026.

## Abstract

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce technical corrections for 43 wildlife and plant species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). For 7 wildlife species and 30 plant species that predominately occur in California and Nevada, we are revising the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants ("the Lists") to reflect the current scientifically accepted taxonomy and nomenclature of these species. We are also making commensurate revisions to the applicable critical habitat sections. Further, for six wildlife species occurring within the United States and territories, we are correcting errors in the Lists made in previous publications. The taxonomic, nomenclatural, and orthographic revisions and the corrections of publication errors are editorial in nature and involve no substantive changes to the Lists or any applicable regulations.
