Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. F. Kay et al. 1987 | S. victoria is larger than S. tatacoensis; also in S. victoriae, the stylar shelf and stylar cusps are better developed, especially in the mesostyle ridge, parastyle and metastyle. S. victoriae adults upper P3-4 have three roots, in contrast to the two roots seen in S. tatacoensis. Tje three rooted conditions is unknown in atelines or alouattines and is otherwise rare in platyrrhines. |
