Wait, isn't this C. belli? I thought C. russelli was the one with the longer brow horns.

This was a bit tricky. Some fossil data said something, some the other. The difference really isn't in the horns (as they were probably covered in keratin, they could have been much more than the fossilized bone shows us) but the shape of the frill.
If someone shows me evidence I can't argue against, stating that I have put the wrong species name here, I'm willing to correct my error.

Actually, now that I really look at it, the frill is of C. russelli. I just got a little confused as C. belli is usally the one shown with the short brow horns. I could be wrong, though.

Like I said, the differences between the two species are little bit confusing (different according to the source), so I don't think your notice was for nothing.
