Mandibular teeth like those of the maxilla, except in 2-3 irregular rows anteriorly, reducing to 2 rows posteriorly, with 25-27 teeth in the inner row. Vomerine teeth similar in shape and size to enlarged inner rows of maxillary and mandibular teeth; in two longitudinal series, converging near the end of the tooth rows into a single, irregular median row of small teeth reaching slightly behind the maxillary tooth rows; total of 20-21 teeth in each longitudinal series and 2 small teeth in the median row.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="EB81F45B8EB4F34C9FA329E077ACCECB" pageNumber="5">Nearly all of the description is based only on the holotype due to the small size and poor condition of the paratype. The paratype apparently became dessicated some time in the past, and the position and number of pores could not be determined. In addition, the lower jaw was badly broken and teeth were missing. Therefore, tooth counts could only be approximated. However, we believe the two specimens to be conspecific, given the similarity in pigment pattern and vertebral numbers.</paragraph>
