Dipodomys ordii panguitchensis Hardy
Dipodomys ordii panguitchensis Hardy, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 55:90, June 25, 1942.
Type.—Male, adult, no. 4375, Museum of Zoology, University of Utah; one mile south of Panguitch, 6666 ft., Garfield County, Utah; obtained on August 31, 1940, by Ross Hardy, original no. 2151.
Range.—Known only from the type locality.
Diagnosis.—Size small (see measurements). Color dark, entire dorsal surface near Olive-Brown, purest on sides and flanks, upper parts strongly suffused with black; cheeks white; arietiform markings, pinnae of ears, plantar surfaces of hind feet, dorsal and ventral stripes of tail which are wider than white lateral stripes, blackish. Skull small; rostrum relatively short and wide; interorbital region wide; interparietal region wide; foramen magnum elongate dorsoventrally; pterygoid fossae ovoid.
Comparisons.—From Dipodomys ordii utahensis, which it closely resembles, D. o. panguitchensis differs in: Size larger; color darker; interparietal region wider; foramen magnum elongate dorsoventrally as opposed to nearly round; pterygoid fossae ovoid as opposed to nearly round.
This subspecies can be distinguished from Dipodomys ordii fetosus, Dipodomys ordii celeripes and Dipodomys ordii cupidineus by its darker color and generally larger size.
