This species apparently belongs to the small group of red mem-. 
bers of this genus, with small tufts behind and over the ears. It is 
a brilliantly colored animal, the red of body and limbs being very 
bright. It differs strikingly from its near relatives in having black 
hands and feet, and in addition from C. TEPHROSCELES, the species 
probably nearest to it, in the red thighs, these in the other animal being 
pale brownish gray.
