Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Dipodillus. Lay (1983) included zakariai in D. simoni but provided no reasons for doing so. Pavlinov et al. (1990) recognized it as a species. Cockrum et al. (1976a) provided adequate morphological data to support the hypothesis that zakariai is an insular species related to mainland D. simoni
