Til is striking cat, which at first sight looks as if it should 

 have come from Africa or India instead of South America, is 

 clearly a representative in the dry country of Ceard, of the 

 South Brazilian F. guttula, a species which has the usual 

 colour-characteristics of South-American animals. 



F. emiliw is readily separable from F. (jutlula by its pale 

 coljur, whitish underside,, the sharp definition of all its 

 markings, and by the cranial characters above mentioned, 

 althouglj these are but slight and may prove to be variable. 



From all other species than F. guttula it is distinguished 

 by the group-characters described ui my paper on the subject 

 already relerred to. 



This adds smother to the many sti iking and interesting 

 species that Fiiiulein Snethlage has been instrumental in 

 discovering, and I have much pleasure in connecting her 

 name with it.
