Choanae moderate sized, ovoid, separated by a distance ~1.5 times their width; vomerine teeth in rows of 5 or 6 clustered along posterior edge of bifid elevated ridge medial to choanae. Eyes rather small (EYE/SUL 0.10), moderately prominent in dorsal and lateral views, pupil horizontal. Tympanum moderately sized (TYM/SUL 0.58), annulus moderately distinct and raised, dorsal edge obscured by prominent thick downwards-curving supratympanic fold that extends from anterodorsal edge of eye to supra-axillary junction.
