Typically the size fully as large as (if not larger than) 

 that of M. damctrensis. Nasals broader than those of 

 the latter, and also differing somewhat in shape ; nasal 

 aperture large, wider and higher than in either damarensis or 

 Idrld ; premaxillse not touching each other in the middle line 

 above (as they do in type of damarensis), and reaching" 

 posteriorly to nasals, with which they articulate broadly. 

 General colour typically dark fawn (much darker than in 

 damarensis) on anterior part of back, becoming greyer (by 

 the loss of the fulvous suffusion) posteriorly, and passing into 

 ashy grey on sides of buttocks ; shoulders, an ill-defined line 

 on flanks, and fronts of legs sandy rufous ; hairs of crest 

 suffused throughout with dull fulvous. For skull-dimensions, 

 see below.
