Type locality. — Perugia, province of Perugia, Italy. 



Geographical distribution. — At present known from Perugia, 

 Rome, and the vicinity of Naples, Italy. 



Diagnosis. — Like Muscardinus avellanarius but general colour 

 brighter, the flanks nearly raw-sienna; white of throat extending 

 upward as a conspicuous whitish stripe between eye and ear. 

 Teeth somewhat larger than in M. avellanarius. 



External characters. — In external form I can detect no differ- 

 ence between this species and Muscardinus avellanarius ; mammae 8, 

 arranged as in the more northern animal.
