due to presence of a well-developed pre-acetabular zone. Distinguished from other species on the following attributes. Anterior border is broad and evenly curved and terminates inferiorly parallel to the slightly raised acetabular rim. The dorsal prominence is broad and distinctly raised. It extends from a position above the middle of the acetabulum, distally to above the commencement of the preacetabular zone. There is no dorsal protuberance. The ilial shaft bears a short remnant of a very narrow flange curving medially and about 100 microns deep. The shaft depth is equivalent to approximately two thirds of the depth of the acetabular fossa.
