Diagnosis. — Size slightly larger than in Evotomys nonegicus 

 (usual measurements of adults: hind foot, 18-8 to 20 mm.; 

 condylobasal length of skull, 25 to 26-2 mm.) ; third upper 

 molar usually with three re-entrant angles on inner side ; dorsal 

 red area narrow and dark, the sides of body dull greyish in 

 evident though not conspicuous contrast. 



Colour. — Dorsal stripe rather well denned, extending from 

 forehead to rump, but not showing much tendency to spread 

 laterally. It is cinnamon-rufous slightly varied with pale 

 broccoli-brown and inconspicuously darkened by a sprinkling of 

 black-tipped hairs ; the resulting colour approaching chestnut, or 

 something lighter and more yellowish. Face, cheeks and sides
