Short dia- stemata present between anterior teeth from II to P3 and usually present on either side of p2; 13 often distinctively caniniform, usually anteroflexed, anterior accessory cusp usually absent or very reduced and distostyle may be reduced (see Fig. 7). Upper canine long and slender, notably greater in crown height than other teeth in upper dentition (including P3), root usually evident externally a swelling in rostrum. Talonid of m3 slightly reduced, talonid basin narrow and entoconid lacking (see Fig. 8). Variation. There is a moderately high degree of variation in pelage coloration between populations. Specimens from PN de la Montagne d'Ambre are usually dark brown, with or without a rufous. wash; those from Bekolosy, PN de Mantady, Didy and Andasibe, also RS d'Analamazaotra (see Stephenson, 1995) are bright rufous or rufous brown dorsally, with a buff or rufous wash ventrally; specimens from RS d'Ambatovaky are dull rufous brown dorsally, grey ventrally; those from RNI de Zahamena are light rufous brown dorsally, with a rufous wash ventrally; while specimens from RNI.
