Eutamias amoenus (J. A. Allen)
_Diagnosis._--Size medium; over-all tone of upper parts often
grayish olive; baculum small or medium, slender; tip of baculum 30
to 38 per cent of length of shaft; skull medium, narrow across
zygomata.
_Comparisons._--From _E. dorsalis utahensis_, the only subspecies
of this species in Wyoming, _E. amoenus luteiventris_ differs in:
Dorsal light and dark stripes distinct; over-all tone of upper
parts less grayish (more tawny); tip of baculum less than 38 per
cent of length of shaft in adult specimens.
From _E. umbrinus fremonti_, the only subspecies of this species
which occurs in the same area with _E. amoenus_ in Wyoming, _E. a.
luteiventris_ differs in: Smaller size; tawny underparts; base of
baculum not noticeably widened.
For comparisons with _E. minimus_ see the account of that species.
