TABLE 2. Cranial and dental measurements (in mm) of C. jobimena and other members of this genus. Descriptive statistics presented as x ± SD (minimum–maximum, n). Standard deviation is not presented for palate emargination, which is a qualitative character. t -test statistical comparisons of measurements of C. jobimena and C. ansorgei (sexes combined for each species) were conducted: * — P <0.05, ** — P <0.001, *** — P <0.0001

Species	Greatest skull length	Greatest zygomatic breadth	Postorbital width	Mastoid width	Lacrimal width	Post-palatal length	Palatal length
