11372. Skin with skull inside; all data as above except original

As J. A. Allen wrote, this specimen is quite immature and on the 

 whole is a wretched-looking object. It has never been made up into a 

 modern study skin, 



Allen based this species on three specimens, all designated by number 

 on page 350, Monographs of North American Rodentia: One (No. 8140) 

 from Chiriqui, received from Fred Hicks, and the others (Nos. 11371 and 

 11372) from Talamanca, Costa Rica, collected by Jos4 Zeledon. No type or 

 cotypes were designated. In order to avoid two type localities for a single 

 species, the two si)ecimens from Talamanca are now designated as cotypes 

 and the Chiriqui specimen as a para type. This course seems perfectly 

 justifiable, as two-thirds of the specimens upon which the description was 

 based came from Talamanca, and the species was named after their donor.
