This is a darker and more smoky-coloured race than the 
others, such as might come from an area with a heavier 
rainfall. It is less grey than crassicaudatus, less brown than 
the next subspecies, while its dark limbs and blackish feet are 
peculiar to itself. In the general darkening it is probable 
also that a majority of individuals will prove to have blackish 
tail-tips, as in the type.
