3g. 484. Tji Wangie, Preanger. 
A Lariscus of the same general pattern as LZ. insignis, but rather 
larger and stouter, and darker in coloration than any of the races 
of that species. 
Size rather larger than L. insignis of Sumatra. Fur about 
15 mm. in length on the back, 30-35 mm. on the tail. General 
colour-pattern as in the various races of L. insignis, but differing 
from all of them in the darkness of the interspaces between the 
dorsal stripes. Individual hairs of tail black, with a buff band 
(5 mm. broad) at 5 mm. from the base, and with a white tip 
(5 mm.); the outer black band (15 mm.) is much broader than in 
other forms of Z. insignis, in which it measures at most 10 mm. 
Skull with a long pointed muzzle, palatilar length 24 mm. as 
compared with 19-22 mm. in Z. insignis and its Malayan 
forms. ‘Teeth larger and stouter. Profile of skull much flatter. 
Dimensions of the type :-— 
Head and body 220 mm.; tail (broken) ; hind foot 47; ear 18. 
Skull: greatest length 53; basilar length 41 ; zygomatic 
breadth 28; interorbital breadth 14;  palatilar length 24; 
diastema 14; upper tooth-series, exclusive of p* 9°3.

Collected 2 August, 1907. 
The second specimen, an old male, from Tji Wangie, Preanger 
(alt. 4000’), agrees with the type in all essential characters. 
‘he dark dorsal area, the broad black longitudinal stripe of the 
tail, the long narrow muzzle, and large stout teeth serve easily 
to distinguish this subspecies from typical LZ. insignis and its 
Malayan races, peninsule and jalorensis.
