Sciurus loioi bangueyce } subsp. n. 



Essential characters as in true N.-Bornean lowi, but the 

 peculiar warmth subtracted from the general colour, so that 

 instead of a warm brown the colour is dark greenish oliva- 

 ceous, the light rings on the hairs buffy instead of ochraceous. 

 Median dorsal area from crown to rump decidedly darker than 

 the flanks. Sides of neck still lighter than flanks, a black 

 post aural patch rather more conspicuous than in lowi. Tail- 

 hairs ringed basally with buffy, their tips dull whitish, these 

 colours being ochraceous and buffy respectively in true lowi. 



Hind foot of type 33 mm. 



Skull : gnathion to basilar suture 26*5; nasals 11 ; inter- 

 orbital breadth 11*7 ; palatal length 19; upper tooth-series

Nannoseiurus exilis retectus, subsp. n.
