GUARAXA AGUARA FOX. 263 
Guaraxa, which Professor Lichtenstein, in his care- 
ful review of the works of Marcgrave and Piso, 
compared with the above drawings, considers to be 
synonymous with d’Azara’s Aguarachay. In form 
and stature the Guaraxa is very like the Mesoleu- 
cus, the head and limbs appearing equally small 
and light, when compared with the volume of body 
and tail, both being covered with loose and rather 
coarse hair, the tail is however much longer; the 
nose, cheeks, and forehead sooty grey; the nose to 
the eyes, the back of the ears, and extremities from 
the joints downwards sepia brown; the neck, back, 
belly, sides, hams, and tail yellowish white, darker 
on the back flanks and hams, and waved on the 
neck, back, and croup with indistinct bars of sepia 
brown, which appears likewise in similar forms on 
the tail, where there are about three bars and a 
sooty tip.
