External Measurements

Actually only the measurements of the Holotype are known and these data can be seen on the original description published by J.A.Allen in 1899.

It should say sex and not gender

In the discovery it states that the individuals were of undetermined gender, since they're animals this should be sex. 2406:2D40:20BE:B110:342B:55B9:C6EF:CBB (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
