4 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 14. NIO 20. 



Gallicehus suhrufus Elliot, as the following description proves. 

 Face nearly naked only witli some short sparsely set whitish 

 hairs on the lips and in a line from the fore-head down on 

 the nose. In addition to these there are several longer, black, 

 probably sensory bristles above and on either side of the 

 nose, and there is also a sparse growth of red hair from the 

 sides of the head in direction towards the nose. A very 

 narrow black, frontal bar and behind the same a broad 

 white, semilunar band. Behind the latter the crown of the 

 head and the occiput are something between »fawn» (Rép. 

 de coul. 308,2) and »rust red» (Rép. de coul. 318, i), more 

 red in front a little paler on the occiput, where the hair 

 are rather suddenly lengthened. The back is duller in co- 

 lour, something between fawn and burnt umber a little more 

 fawn on the rump. The hairs are almost black at their base 

 for more than a third, then ringed with dirty whitish and 

 dark brown, but with fawn-coloured tips. On the lower back 

 the paler colour becomes more fawn, and the dark rings are 

 less apparent. Shoulders, sides of body and thighs grizzled 

 grey by means of whitish and dark brown or blackish rings 

 to the hairs. The flanks are a little overlaid with brownish. 

 Sides of head, whiskers, throat and entire lower side, inside 

 of limbs, outside of limbs up to elbow and knee, hands and 

 feet, inclusive fingers and toes, most similar to Ridgway's 

 »burnt siena» with an inclination to »Sanford's brown» of 

 the same author's »Color Standards» 1912. The base of the 

 tail is grizzled like the flanks with more or less fawn-coloured 

 tips. The greater part of the tail is, however, speckled grey- 

 ish white and black, because the hairs have long whitish or 

 putty-coloured tips, and below them very broad black rings, 

 the bases being whitish, sometimes with a narrow black ring 

 some distance above the root and separated from the broad 

 subapical black ring by a white ring. The hairs on top of 

 the ears are whitish, but inside the same and on their lower 

 parts red like the whiskers etc. 



With regard to the colour this animal appears to re- 

 semble C. leucometopa Latorre, but the latter differs by the 

 colour of the head, which is said to be iron grey. C. suhrufus 

 Elliot differs in having the fingers and toes »yellowish gray». 

 C. ornatus Gray is still more different and has f. i. »outer 

 side of limbs gray» and »hands and feet yellowish gray»
