The type specimen is a young female, with the last two molars 

 in each jaw not having yet made their appearance. The coloring of the 

 fur and its distribution is the same in both adult and young, as may be 

 gathered from the few specimens of different ages obtained thus far, 

 but I have not seen an old individual. It is a handsome monkey and 

 a very distinct species.
