Congratulation to the authors, who found a new species.
But I am realy shocked, that they publish a quick-shot.
But bones counting is not enough.
Did they never heard of sexual dimorphism? They have 2 choices, which of the "two species" is the male! :-)

I am feeling, that they would like to create many new species, one for every single skeleton. ;-)
