Conspecificity of two pocket mice, Perognathus g

Name: Conspecificity of two pocket mice, Perognathus goldmani and P. artus
Author: Eugene Raymond Hall

The study focuses on the comparative anatomy of two species of pocket mice, describing their physical characteristics, including skull shape and size, dental structure, and body proportions. The research aims to identify distinct features that distinguish one species from the other, providing insights into their evolutionary relationships and adaptations to their environments.

First lines

_Perognathus goldmani_ Osgood and _Perognathus artus_ Osgood from southern Sonora, northern Sinaloa and adjoining parts of Chihuahua and Durango, are two named kinds of the _Perognathus intermedius_ group of pocket mice, of the subgenus _Chaetodipus_. Until now the two kinds have been treated in the literature as two species. In both _goldmani_ and _artus_ the upper parts are Ochraceous-Buff (capitalized color terms after Ridgway, Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912) having a strong admixture of black. The lateral line is Ochraceous-Buff, and the underparts are white. _P. goldmani_ is larger than _P. artus_ (see measurements beyond) and has more inflated tympanic bullae and a relatively narrower (transverse to long axis of skull) interparietal bone.
