摘要
Seventeen linear measurements (13 from the skull and 4 from the mandible) were taken on 46 skulls of adult H. cristata, 24 of which originated from the Italian peninsula, 11 from North Africa, and 11 from Sicily. Based on the results from a PCA analysis, Italian H. cristata appeared on average to be grouped quite apart from conspecifics from Sicily and Africa, which were in contrast rather mixed.
