We present new relations between recently defined line-strength indices in the near-infrared (CaT*, CaT, PaT, MgI and sTiO) and central velocity dispersion (sigma(0) ) for a sample of 35 early-type galaxies, showing evidence for significant anti-correlations between Ca ii triplet indices (CaT* and CaT) and log sigma(0). These relations are interpreted in the light of our recent evolutionary synthesis model predictions, suggesting the existence of important Ca underabundances with respect to Fe and/or an increase of the dwarf to giant stars ratio along the mass sequence of elliptical galaxies.
