Callospermophilus lateralis arizonensis Bailey, Proc. Biol. Soc.

 parts brownish gray; on each flank is a bread black and buff stripe; 

 rump and outer side of thighs deep chestnut grading to yellowish and 

 becoming buffy on the feet; underparts whitish; tail similar to that

Measurements. Total length, 292; tail, 102; hind foot, 44. Skull: 

 Occipito-nasal length, 45.9; Hensel, 38.4; zygomatic width, 28.5; 

 intertemporal width, 12.1; length of nasals, 16; palatal length, 21.5; 

 length of upper molar series, 8.5; length of mandible, 22.3; length of 

 lower molar series, 8.2. Ex type in United States National Museum. 



Mr. Bailey says the tail " beneath always gray." I did not find 

 this to be so on comparing a series of the present form with one of C. 

 lateralis. The last-named species is paler than the present race gen- 

 erally, and the hind feet are much paler than the thighs, while the feet 

 and thighs of this race are of the same color. 



Subgenus E. Colobotis.
