This species is nearest to C. cupreus but is altogether different in 

 color, being darker in all its hues. The skulls also are not at all in 

 accord, the differences mentioned being very conspicuous when a com- 

 parison is made. The unique example is in the British Museum 

 Collection, and all that is recorded of its history is that it came from 

 Brazil, collected by Castelnau.
