Table 1. Cranial and mandible measurements of the holotype of Eucyon khoikhoi SAM-PQL-31272 from Langebaanweg. Skull measurements based on Tedford et al. (2009). Mandibles measurements based on our measurements. Abbreviations: BW, braincase width. Maximum breadth of the braincase across the level of parietal-squamosal suture; FSW, frontal shield width. Maximum breadth across the postorbital processes of the frontals; GSL, greatest skull length. Length from anterior tip of premaxillae to the posterior point of the inion; H ascent, hight ascent ramus; H ar-an, hight between articular and angular processes; Hb m1, height of the mandibular ramus below m1; Hb p1, height of the mandibular ramus below p1; JD, jugal depth. Minimum depth of the jugal cranial to the postorbital process, at a right angle to its craniocaudal axis; LB, bulla length. Length from the median lacerate foramen to the suture of the bulla with the paroccipital process; LCM, distance from the distal border of the canine alveolus to the foramen magnum notch; Ld, length diastema between c-p1; Lms, length from m1–3; LPM, maxillary toothrow length. Distance from the mesial edge of the alveolus of P1 to the distal edge of the alveolus of M2; Lps, length from p1 to p4; Lp1–ms, length from p1-m3; MOH, height, maxillary toothrow to orbit. Minimum distance from the outer alveolar margin of M1 to the most ventral point of orbit; M2B, length, M2 to bulla. Minimum distance from the distal edge of the alveolus of M2 to depression in front of the bulla; PCW, postorbital constriction width. Least width across the frontals at the constriction behind the postorbital processes; PWP1, palatal width at P1. Minimum width between the inner margins of the alveoli of the first upper premolars; PWP4, palatal width at P4. Minimum width between the inner margins of the alveoli of the first upper premolars; TL, total length; W cor, maximum craniocaudal width of the coronoid process; ZW, zygomatic width. Greatest distance across the zygoma. Parenthesis means approximated measurements
