Post-frontals distinctly detached from the frontoparietal margins. Orbits bordered anteriorly by crescent shaped pre-frontals. The base of orbit is partially formed by the jugal, palatine, transpalatine and pterygoid bones. Pterygoids widely separated from one another. Each pterygoid is connected to the parietals by an upwardly extending epipterygoid. Endolymphatic sacs in females enlarged extracranially and extend to the level of the sixth vertebra. The hyoid and only the first branchial arch persist (
