What's the difference between proconsul and proconsular?

Proconsul


Definition:

  • (n.) An officer who discharged the duties of a consul without being himself consul; a governor of, or a military commander in, a province. He was usually one who had previously been consul.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A similar analysis for Proconsul africanus yields a body weight between 16 and 34 kg, and an EQ between 1.19 and 1.96.
  • (2) The crushed palate and lower face of the holotype of Proconsul nyanzae has been prepared using the acetic acid technique.
  • (3) The prior and smaller of the two species (the genotype of Limnopithecus) somewhat resembles in dental morphology African dryopithecines of subgenus Proconsul, while the larger and later described species more nearly resembles European Pliopithecus in dental details but is strikingly different from the latter in comparable postcranial bones.
  • (4) It is suggested that pronograde clambering as defined in this study was likely a positional mode of considerable importance in the repertoire of Proconsul africanus and is a plausible early stage in the evolution of later hominoid morphology and locomotor behavior.

  • (8) These fossils generally confirm previous findings that the wrist of Proconsul is monkey-like in much of its morphology.
  • (9) The restored face of P. nyanzae shows the orbits to have been wider apart than those of Proconsul major, both absolutely and relatively, and that it had a long narrow nose and palate.
  • (10) Thus the wrist of Proconsul is neither monkey-like nor ape-like in its total morphology.
