Both these specimens are slightly larger than the type as described by 
Peters, and are no doubt older. The presence of an extra premolar in the

The male is almost entirely of a bleached reddish tawny colour on 
the upper surface of the body, only a small patch of grey annulated hairs 
appearing behind the right shoulder ; the forehead, cheeks, legs, and tail 
have the hairs greyish, tipped with dull white, and the middle of the 
under surface of the body is almost entirely dull white. The hands and

forehead and middle of the back, surrounded by bleached reddish tawny, 
which extends from the crown to the shoulders, less conspicuously round
