Sagittal crest well-developed, starts from the frontal region and extends to the parietal region. Lambdoid crests well-developed on the lateral areas of the skull but relatively less developed in the parietal region. Rostrum flat; braincase tall and bulbous, extends abruptly from the base of the rostrum. A shallow medial rostral depression is present. Dental formula is i: 2/3, c: 1/1, pm: 2/3, m: 3/3.
