PLATE XVII.—FIG. 2.

_Dentibus palatinis in fasciculis subcontiguis paulò obliquis, pone

nares posteriores positis; palmis non tuberculatis._

Habitat, Valdivia.

This species considerably resembles the former in most of its

characters. The palatine teeth, however, form at once a certain and

tangible distinction and there are some minor points in which they

differ, sufficient at a glance to determine them. The head in the

present animal is broader than it is long; in the former the breadth is

only equal to its length. The palms are in this species without

conspicuous tubercles; in the other there are two, although very small.

In colour it differs much from the former. The general colour is a rich

fuscous brown, rather paler beneath; the flanks, the throat and belly,

and the whole of the thighs and legs, with various white markings, those

of the throat and belly being the smallest. This species was found in

the forest, in Valdivia.
