8. Meriones (Rhombomys) maccalinus n. Cauda densius brevi-pilosa,

Simillimus Mer. (Rh.) cafro Wagic. sed differt cauda breviore et
tenuiore, et dentibus primoribus paullo Jatioribus: superiores
enim apice simul sumti fere 3 mm. lati. Sulcus eorum vix
lateri externo, quam interno propior; qua re haec sp. magnopere
ab affinibus differt. Praeterea rostrum et totum caput crassiora.
Color fere M. cafri, sed cauda griseo albida, superne angustius
