Major differences between the two species concentrate mainly on three bones of the lower and upper jaws—premaxillae, mentomeckelians and dentaries. Premaxillae usually composed of alary, dentary and maxillary processes. In both species, premaxillae are edentate. However, shape of dentary process differs immensely, wherein
