Quote |
Three other specimens from portions of north-eastern Peru proximate to the type region (LACM 36324-2, LACM 36327-3) would be considered conspecific with S. curvirostris based on counts and overall form of the head and body, but differ from Ecuadorian samples in the degree of pigmentation on the snout. Although this difference may be a consequence of differential preservation or geographical variation, we defer from formally equating these specimens with S. curvirostris at this time. |
