FURCIMANUS DIAPTERUS (Gilbert). 



Males are much less abundant than females and are recognizable 

 externally by the much larger mouth and the stronger teeth, the 

 maxillary extending to a vertical which traverses the middle of the 

 orbit, while in females a vertical line from the tip of the maxillary 

 passes through the front of the pupil, or a trifle behind that point.
