C. Local subspecies pelage comparisons- Among subspecies of Z. hudronlus,Z. h. <br /> preblei most closely resembles its nearest geographical neighbor Z. h. campestn's <br /> (Krutzsch 1954). Krutzsch (1954) described how Z. h. preblei differs from <br /> topotypes of Z. h. campesrris, "Upper parts generally dull, averaging lighter, less <br /> black-tipped hair, dorsal band less distinct; sides duller." Krutzsch (1954) also <br /> described how Z. h. preblei differs from Z. h. pallidus, its next nearest <br /> geographical neighbor, "Upper parts generally duller (less ochraceous); dorsal <br /> band less distinct; sides paler (not bright Ochraceous-Buff)." <br /> D. • Local subspecies cranial comparisons- Krutzsch (1954) described how the skull <br /> of Z. h. preblei differs qualitatively from that of Z. h. campesr. is, "averag(es) <br /> smaller in most cranial measurements taken; least interorbiml constriction <br /> narrower; auditory bullae smaller, less well inflated; incisive foramina narrower, <br /> not truncate posteriorly; frontal region usually more inflated." Similarly,Krutzsch <br /> (1954) stated how the skull of Z. h. preblei was different from that of Z. h. <br /> pallidus; "zygomatic arch less widely bowed; least interorbital constriction <br /> narrower; occipitonasal length averaging greater; distance from incisors to <br /> postpalatal notch averaging less; incisive foramina longer, proportionally less <br /> widely bowed; auditory bullae longer, pterygoid fossae averaging broader." <br /> E.
