A new autosomal recessive coat color mutant in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) is described: chinchilla medium (symbol c(chm)). The mutant has typical acromelanistic features similar to those of several acromelanistic c locus mutants of other species of mammals. Previously a more severe form of acromelanism (c(h)c(h)) has been described in the Mongolian gerbil. The new allele shows to be allelic with...
