While similar in colour to A. Azarce, the present species 

 differs greatly in its cranial characters. The skull is much 

 larger and the brain-case considerably longer, while the

 animals. Two specimens (a male and female) were obtained 

 by Mr. J. Steinbach in the Province of Sara, Central 

 Bolivia.
