602587A0FFA7FFA2FCB81E89E726571B.taxon	description	The shape of the CPS of females was observed to be wider anteriorly than that of males (Fig. 2 A), while the posterior margin of this structure was wider in males than in females (Fig. 2 A). The variation of the MaP and MiP shapes exhibited a similar pattern. The manus region of MaP and MiP was more robust in males than in females (Fig. 2 B). Furthermore, the fixed finger of the MiP was also found to be more robust in males than in females (Fig. 2 C). Sexual size dimorphism between males and females was detected in almost all structures, except CPS (t - test; t = 1.53, p = 0.18). In contrast, the size of MaP (t - test; t = - 5.99, p <0.001) and MiP (t - test; t = - 4.91, p <0.001) differed significantly between the sexes (Fig. 3 A).	en	da Silva, Adriane Candiotto Caio S.

602587A0FFA6FFA1FCB81BEFE38E52C1.taxon	description	The frontal region of the CPS exhibited a similar shape between males and females. However, the posterior region of the CPS was wider in females than in males (Fig. 4 A). In contrast, MaP was more robust in females than in males. Additionally, males displayed a slight projection of the fixed finger of the MaP, while females did not exhibit this characteristic (Fig. 4 B). The differences in the shape of MiP between males and females were smaller compared to the other structures. This structure was slightly more robust in females, whereas the fixed finger of males was more robust than that of females (Fig. 4 C). Sexual size dimorphism was evident between males and females in all structures analyzed, CPS (t - test; t = - 9.69, p <0.001), MaP (t - test; t = - 9.07, p <0.001), and MiP (t - test; t = - 11.04, p <0.001) (Fig. 3 B).	en	da Silva, Adriane Candiotto Caio S.
