Since we don't have enough certainty, we can't assume the Sphinx is an elder Manticore and add it to the page. True but as you see each species has a different title for their elders. Believe me, I was skeptical at first however the similarities, in both appearance and roar. The way it seems to command the Manticore makes it seem much more likely that it is an elder counterpart rather than a completely different species. The whole point of counterparts are to look similar while still having distinct differences. The Queen Lancer has an ability/feature that normal Lancers don't have, so who's to say there can't be similar cases with other Grimm and their elder counterparts?
