Size probably, in adult animals, about equal to that of _C.
abyssinicus_; form slender. Colour uniformly light yellow all over,
except a small streak on the nasal region, the tip of the tail, and the
metacarpus and metatarsus, all of which are black. The yellow hairs of
the body finely grizzled with black.
Horns, skull, and teeth of adult not yet known. In the type skull, that
of a half-grown animal, the anteorbital fossæ are of moderate depth,
and the mesial notch on the palate is nearly half an inch in advance of
the lateral ones.
