discussion
Discussion: Lawrence and Loveridge (1953) understood their new species as generally affiliated with the jacksoni group, but they presented a combination of traits (especially smaller size, lack of postauricular patches, flatter skull, and broader nasals) that differentiate it from other members of that complex. Relegated to a subspecies of O. typus by Misonne (1974), presumably applying Bohmann’s (1952) expansive concept of the species. Certainly not a form of either O. irroratus or O. typus in the strict sense; its relationship and status with regard to O. orestes and included taxa invite investigation.
