Geomys lutescens jugossicularis Hooper, Occas. Papers Mus. Zoöl., Univ. Michigan, no. 420: 1, June 28, 1940; Hibbard, Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., vol. 47, p. 75, 1944.
Type locality.—Lamar, Prowers County, Colorado.
Distribution in Kansas.—Extreme southwestern part of state, northward certainly to Hamilton County and south certainly to Morton and Seward counties.
Description.—A yellowish-cinnamon colored animal, with body of medium size, zygomatic plate of maxilla deep and mastoid process small.
Comparisons.—Differs from Geomys bursarius industrius in slightly lighter color; occiput not strongly inclined anterodorsally.
From G. b. lutescens, jugossicularis differs in less buffy coloration and deeper zygomatic plate of maxilla.
Remarks.—G. bursarius jugossicularis and G. bursarius industrius intergrade in the southern part of Meade County. Some specimens from this area show a coloration resembling that of G. b. jugossicularis; nevertheless, one specimen from Morton County has the occiput anterodorsally inclined as in G. b. industrius.
Specimens examined from Hamilton County correspond closely to G. b. jugossicularis; they agree with it both in color and in cranial characters.
Specimens examined.—Total number, 20, distributed as follows: Hamilton County: 1 mi. E Coolidge, Conard Farm, 4. Morton County: 12 mi. NE Elkhart, 2; Cimarron River, 12 mi. N Elkhart, 4; no locality more precise than county, 6. Seward County: 1 mi. E Arkalon, 4.
