HANKÓ, E. P. Methods The examinations of teeth and mandibles were based on both qualitative features and measurements. In the morphological description of bones the works of SCHMID (1940), SCHUTT (1969), VAUGHN et al. (2000) and ZBORAY (2001) were taken into consideration. For comparison, skeletal elements of Recent lions (mainly Panthera leo nubica) and jaguars were studied. The most important and diagnostic features for morphological analyses were found in the lower molar, the upper and lower premolars and the mandible. Only these elements have been measured and described morphologically in details, but the incisivi and the canines have been also taken into consideration. The measurements on the teeth and mandibles were taken in mm as shown in Figures 2—6. The results of the morphological studies were evaluated by the cladistical method of Hennig 86 Version 1.5 [KORSÓS (1999) after FARRIS (1988)].
