The other great source for jaguar measurements comes from Hoogesteijn's "El Tigre Americano"

Measurements of Venezuelan females, this includes Llanos and other areas, adults and sub-adults:

Largo total: total length
Largo de cuerpo: body length

Straight lines of course

Venezuelan males, notice that the males from Falcón and Amazonas states are not Llanos specimens, those lower the average.
