Behind rostral, upper lip bordered by infranasal (nostril midway between rostral and supralabial along nasal suture), moderate anterior supralabial that extends dorsally to a point level with the nostril and its width along lip 1.5–2 times that of infranasal, large ocular with eye at upper anterior edge, and moderate posterior supralabial.
