چکیده
lu Messrs. Salviu and Godmau's Biologia Centrali-Americana, Alston enumerates four species of deer as inhabitants of the region between Texas and the Isthmus of Panama, These are Cariacus macrotis (Say). Cariacus virginianu8(Bo&d&ert),Cariacus toltecus (S&usswe), Cariacus rufimis (Bourcier et Pucheran). Of these, the first three belong to the subgenus Cariacus, as defined by Sir Victor Brooke, and the fourth to the subgenus Coassus. It is now my intention to add to the list of Central American deer a fifth species, which, as I shall presently show, presents a superficial resemblance to the species of the subgenus Goassus, but belongs in reality to the subgenus Cariacus. The description is based upon a good series of specimens in the National Museum, including young and adult individuals of both sexes. The species never acquires branched antlers, and I have therefore chosen for it the name of Cariacus clavatus.
