Defined as the Sudanid variant "Equatoriale" by Biasutti (1967). In contrast, Baker (1981) even regarded it as Palaenegrid 3. Usually both Sudanid and Paleo Negrid types are found in the region (c.p. Eickstedt, 1934)). Detailed investigation by Czekanowski (1924) . Lalouel's (1957) Fang type can be included.
