This species resembles Sciurus annulatus in many respects , 

 especially in the coloration of the upper parts and the uni- 

 form color of the under parts of the body. It is however 

 distinguished by its smaller size , shorter tail and by having 

 five molars in each upper jaw. 



Hairs of back and sides of the body black with a red- 

 dish brown ring and a yellowish brown subapical one. Hairs 

 of upper parts of head blackish with yellowish red points ; 

 those of chin, throat, chest, belly and inside of legs are 

 rather long and entirely dirty yellow colored , with a reddish 

 brown tinge. Outside of legs with long hairs dark mouse- 

 colored at the base and largely yellowish red pointed. Hairs 

 of tail reddish yellow with two or three black rings and 

 large reddish yellow tips, forming indistinct bands. 



Whiskers black. The well developed ears with short dirty 

 white hairs. A circle of the same color surrounds the 

 dark-brown eyes.
