Founded on a male specimen in the Paris Museum, of 

 which the exact locality is unknown, but which probably 

 came from the Southern United States. In general colora- 

 tion this is very similar to the typical race of the white- 

 tailed deer in summer, but the upper half of the tarsal tuft is 

 rusty red, and only the lower half white.
