This race, while closely resembling L. albigularis in its general 

 style of coloration, is readily distinguished from that species by the 

 reddish orange hairs on root of tail and adjacent parts, as well as by 

 the unspeckled whitish under parts, and inner side of limbs. 



According to Grant as quoted by Thomas (1. c.) this species was 

 "very common in the forest of the Pungwe River District, to which 

 they are confined, and often observed in very large troops. At first 

 they were tame, and specimens were easily obtainable, but they soon 

 became wild, and after a few weeks were seldom seen. They live on 

 wild fruits, young shoots of trees, etc., and seldom damage the native 

 crops."
