What are the differences features between both subtypes?

The main difference is, that Palaeatlantids are more classic Cromagnids, similar to Dalofaelid, just some local variants are more archaic, whereas Berid is typically more reduced and has an infantile tendency, but unlike Alpinid being still longheaded like the other Cromagnids.

Also Palaeatlantid is on average lighter and more common in the North, Berid is most common on the Iberian peninsula and the Mediterranean islands.

The next (then Southern) Cromagnid type geographically is Berberid, typical for some unmixed Berber groups and common among the Guanches.

What are the differences features between both subtypes?

The main difference is body height. Berids are short and more paedomorphic, Paleo-Atlantids tall and more robust.

She can't be Berid, because Berids have broad faces in a Cromagnoid fashion. Both Lundman and Schwidetzky have described them that way.

Her face on the other hand is rather narrow and gracile.

The next (then Southern) Cromagnid type geographically is Berberid, typical for some unmixed Berber groups and common among the Guanches.

In Lundman's typology, Cromagnoid Berbers were classified as Paleo-Atlantid and he was the one who coined the term 'Paleo-Atlantid' after all.

The skull morphology of the Cromagnoid Guanches is close to indistinguishable from that of other Cromagnoid variants. Some of them resemble northern Cromagnoids (according to Schwidetzky), others are southern Cromagnoids.

Also Palaeatlantid is on average lighter and more common in the North

Classification based on pigmentation only is pseudoscientific as pigmentation just consists of one or two traits that don't affect the skull shape.

There is a plate in one of von Eickstedt's books, where the Ladoga skull from Northeast Europe and a skull from Corsica are depicted on the same page, to represent Cromagnid survivals in Neolithic Europe.

Eickstedt and Schwidetzky surely rated the importance of pigmentation as lower than Lundman did, who was somewhat of a Nordicist.
