The index of sexual dimorphism varies geographically and from one dimension to 
another of the same population. Also females average larger than males. This is 
true of most populations of the genus. 
(d) Ratios. Figure 2 illustrates by means of scatter diagrams, the relationships 
between two pairs of dimensions for three populations of M. elongatus and one of 
M. turbotti. It is apparent that ratios involving the relevant dimensions are not of 
Table 2. Statistics calculated from linear measurements for four populations of Mimopeus 
elongatus and one of M. turbotti.
