For the Dirac equation with two equal quark masses m, the equations for q and qˉ​ give the divergence of the nonsinglet axial current as imqˉ​γ5​τa​q=mPa​. The color chiral anomaly is absent in this nonsinglet identity because the quark flavor generator is traceless. Equivalently, the mass term in the Hamiltonian is m∫Sd3x, and the nonsinglet axial charge algebra of quark densities gives Q˙​5,a​=m∫Pa​d3x.
