This animal is about the same in size as C. melanotis, and might 

 pass for a gray phase of that species were it not for the naked ears, 

 those of C. melanotis being rather closely haired. The skulls show 

 differences also, the rostral portion of C. sibreei being much narrower, 

 and the nasals more slender. The tooth rows are straighter, not curv- 

 ing outward as in C. melanotis.
