Abstract: | A new subspecies of the honey badger (Mellivora capensis buechneri ssp. n.) is described from the western part of Central Asia (Turkmenistan). By the relatively small palatal length it is similar to the subspecies M. c. indica (Kerr, 1792) and M. c. inaurita (Hodgson, 1838) and differs from them by having larger size and narrower postorbital constriction. |
