It has been recognized as a “ good species”? by most subsequent compilers 
and revisers, including Sir Victor Brooke, by whom it is listed, however, 
without comment. | 
Mazama cita cita Osgood. 
Mazama americana citus + Oscoon, Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zoél., X, p. 43, Jan. 10, 
1912. 
Type locality, El Panorama, Rio Aurare, eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo, Vene- 
zuela. 
This species, as noted by the author, differs very considerably in colora- 
tion from M. nemorwaga of the Guianas, and also in the heavier dentition, 
although the measurements given do not indicate larger general size. The 
color differences are much more significant than the difference in size. 
Osgood (/. c.) gives the external measurements of the type (male) and of 
a female paratype as follows: “Total length 1,090, 1,060 mm.; tail vertebree 
105, 115; hind foot 278, 280; circumference of chest 600, 560; neck, 240, 
218; shoulder to hip 550, 570; height at shoulder 545, 587.” Skulls of the 
same specimens: “Greatest length, 189, 185; zygomatic breadth 80.6, 
81.8;.... breadth of braincase 57.4, 55; maxillary toothrow 61.5, 58.8....” 
My own measurements of the female paratype skull (Field Mus. No. 
18778, Empalado Savanna, Venezuela) are as follows: Total length, 184.5; 
condylobasal length, 177, occipitonasal length, 160; preorbital length, 92; 
zygomatic breadth, 81; orbital breadth, 76; interorbital breadth, 40.6; 
occipital breadth, 55; breadth of braincase, 54.5; nasals, 58.5 < PAs ea 
maxillary toothrow, 58; m‘°, 33.5. The specimen is a young female with 
the teeth fully developed but unworn.

Size medium. Pelage short and fine. Hairs on nape not reversed. Upper parts 
pale ochraceous buff, deeper and more ochraceous on the median line, paler and 
lighter on the flanks, grizzled faintly with blackish (most strongly medially), the 
hairs being barred near the tip with dusky; underparts white from chin to base of 
tail, faintly washed on the breast and laterally with a tinge of buff; fore limbs exter- 
nally like the flanks but with a faint grayish drab tone, internally like the belly; hind 
1As Mazama is usually treated as feminine, it seems preferable to write cita instead of 
citus.
