Discussion: Considered conspecific with pardina-maculata by Schlawe (1981), Wozencraft (1993) and Grubb et al. (1998). Rosevear (1974) and Crawford-Cabral (1981 a) discussed its taxonomic status. Erroneously used for designating cristata by Jeannin (1936) and Happold (1987). Gaubert et al. (2003 a) proposed a specific status on the basis of coat pattern and hair ultrastructure, together with sympatric distribution with pardina and maculata .
