Skull two: round mental protuberance, dull supraorbital margin, small superciliary arches, small external occipital protuberance. Skull three: square mental protuberance, sharp supraorbital margin, prominent superciliary arches, prominent external occipital protuberance. O 1 female and 2 male skulls. 3 male skulls. 3 female skulls. 2 female and 1 male skulls.
