Simia pygmceus fuscus Hair on head sparse, ears large, chin-hairs brownish. Simia pygmceus leucoprymnus. This Key is as close as I have been able to work, but when some of the remaining subspecies are described it must be revised. S y n o f s i s . 1. Simia vellerosi+s (Gray). Camaroons. la.

Simia pyc/mceus chimpanse Matschie. Gambia. (Text-fig. 114, p. 433.) 5 cl. Simia pygmceus raripilosus Rothschild. French Congo. In Professor Matschie's previously cited paper, first of all, under the head of Simia satyrus Linn, he has confused four species, viz. S. satyrus, S. koolookambaS. aubryi, and S. vellerosus, in fact all the black-faced species. As now ascertained, Linnseus's species must stand as S im ia s a t y r u s Linn. Syst. Nat. i. 25 (1758). Synonyms'. Simia troglodytes Gm., 1788; Troglodytes niger Geoffr., 1812 ; Troglodytes tschego Duvernoy, 1855 ; and Troglodytes calvus Du Cliaillu, 1861. Troglodytes aubryi Gratiolet & Alix, 1866, must stand as a good species as S im ia a u b r y i (Grat. & Alix). Troglodytes koolookamba Du Cliaillu must stand as a distinct species as S im ia k o o l o o k a m b a ( D u Cliaillu). (Text-fig. 115, p. 434.^ Simia calvus Matschie (nec Du Cliaillu) is the same as Simia vellerosus (Gray). Simia vellerosus Matschie (nec Gray) is a mixture of S. vellerosus and S. aubryi. |
