Abstract: | Multivariate analysis methods were applied to the cranial measurements ofLeontopithecus. InLeontopithecus chrysomelas, the face is generally narrow and the cranial shape is relatively unique. Especially, the male has extremely narrow face
and quite unique cranial shape amongLeontopithecus. Leontopithecus rosalia has the broad face compared with the other species. The cranial size ofL. rosalia is as large as that ofL. chrysomelas. Male ofLeontopithecus chrysopygus is the largest in overall size of the cranium, and has the widest braincase. |
