upper parts, and with a brown head and pale sooty brown tail. The 

 ears are very large, and yellow in their dried state. The orbits are the 

 same in color as the rest of the face, but other examples have black 

 orbital rings. This style was named conspicillatus by Geoffrey. G. 

 moholi Smith, is the same as the present species and the name must 

 become a synonym. The type is in the British Museum Collection and 

 is in a faded condition. My description taken from it reads as 

 follows. Head and upper parts of body, ecru drab; outer side of 

 limbs cream buff ; under parts yellowish white ; hands and feet yellow- 

 ish gray; tail above fawn color on basal half, Prout's brown on the 

 remaining portion, growing darker at tip.
