First named Homo indicus brachimorphus by Giuffrida-Ruggeri (1912) . Eickstedt (1937) named the type Central Brachid and described it as most common in the Doab. Generally placed in Indobrachid (Eickstedt, 1944) .Giuffrida-Ruggeri (1921) and Haddon (1925) linked the type to early migrations of Alpinoids.
