Summary "A New Chipmunk (Genus Eutamias) from the Black Hills" by John A. White is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. This work focuses on the taxonomy and description of a new subspecies of chipmunk, revealing insights into the biodiversity of small mammals in specific regions of the United States, particularly the Black Hills and surrounding areas. In this publication, White presents a detailed study of the chipmunks found in northeastern Wyoming and South Dakota, which had previously been misidentified. He formally names and describes a new subspecies named "Eutamias minimus silvaticus", providing specific measurements, diagnostic features, and comparisons with related subspecies. The paper includes meticulous data on the physical characteristics of this chipmunk, emphasizing differences in coloration, size, and skull structure when compared to similar species. Additionally, it discusses the geographical range of the subspecies, underscoring the importance of this research in understanding mammalian diversity in North American ecosystems.
