Moved
Moved from Kuschelina petaurista.

I can't explain why I did not notice this as a posibility - it was told it could be that, and species is on the Mexican list . . .

Hi Margarethe,
I just came by again, while IDing some stuff from Mexico, consistent with yours, for example this one.
I have no better idea as to sort them with petaurista for now, but there is doubt on this. First,
there are slight differences in pattern, second, K. petaurista is hardly recorded from Mexico.

Third, I suspect a quite different looking form as being a variation. If so, it clearly is a different species.
Several Alagoasa spp. are known to be confusingly variable, and generic delimitation vs. Kuschelina is weak.

All individuals in question were found to the west of the central Cordillera, the northernmost in Mazatlán (SIN).
