Total length of skiül to upper tooth row: the length of the upper tooth row between 

 caninus and last molar (MWy) is suitable as an additional measure for characterizing the 

 muzzle lengtli, especially useful in those species which show a V-shaped palate (i.e. 

 Erophylla, Brachyphylla): tab. 6.
