The type specimen is a young female, with the last two molars
in each jaw not having yet made their appearance. The coloring of the
fur and its distribution is the same in both adult and young, as may be
gathered from the few specimens of different ages obtained thus far,
but I have not seen an old individual. It is a handsome monkey and
a very distinct species.

Type locality. Mozambique. Type in British Museum.
Genl. Char. Like L. stairsi, but red on head, a patch above and
in front of ear only

hairs on thighs and back speckled.
Color. Very like L. stairsi, but the red on the head is confined to
a patch above and in front of the ear; upper parts and flanks are
speckled with black and yellow

unicolor hairs only appearing with the
red ones at the root of the tail, where this color extends quite across
the rump, and on to the base of the tail

the arms are black, speckled
with white on outer side, inner side grayish white only on forearms
to just below elbows; hands black; legs grizzled iron gray, thus
differing from the unicolor thighs of L. stairsi. Under parts of body
and thighs grayish white; tail, (only about nine inches
