D. apache (Female)
I agree with you...however, Diceroprocta species and populations across the southwest may need a bit of revision. There are variations within and amonng populations of this particular taxon that may need a closer look (?).

 
Thank you,
Bill. As always, much appreciate your expertise.

 
apache (?)
NOTE: There is still some debate as to how one can accurately make a clear distincton among cinctifera, apache and semicincta.

All three are very similar on several levels and subject to geographic variability (with over lap). Use of the male operculae and shape seems preferred.

The calls of the three taxa are also quite similar and may not be adequately diagnostic for species id. in the field (?).

Still working on this issue ;)
