The frontoparietal is flat, limited laterally by the well-developed temporo-parietal crests. The temporals are slightly concave. The anterior rim of the orbit is placed well behind M3. The lachrymal notch (referred also in some French bibliography as “incisure infraorbitale”) is large and wide. The zygomatic arches are strongly inflated and laterally extended. Their anterior end is placed above the limit M1/M2. The snout is elongated and narrow (

The posterior end of the narial notch is placed just above the anterior border of the canine. The maxillary depression for the elevator and depressor rostrii muscles is elongated and deep. The maxillary foramen is located above the anterior lobe of M2 or between M1/M2. The alveolar tuberosities are strongly developed with rough surfaces (
