opinion that both these forms cannot be distinguished from Lartet's 

 Dicroceros elegans an opinion fully confirmed by the specimens in 

 the Museum. Both writers adopt the specific name fureatus for the 

 species, as P. scheuchzeri was never properly defined ; the specific 

 name elegans is liable to lead to confusion with Amphitragulus 

 elegans. The length of STB varies from 0,018 to 0,023. The males 

 of the typical form from Sansan and Steinheim were provided with 

 antlers of the simple type of those of the living Indian Muntjac. 

 The cranium of the so-called P. scheuchzeri appears to be unknown.
