The parietal crests are well developed, extending forward to form clear supraorbital ridges. The premaxilla extends back on either side nearly to the zygomatic plate. The zygomatic arches sweep downward to just above the level of the posterior molar alveoli, then curve up again to their posterior roots above the external auditory meati. The incisive foramina are slit-like. The palate ends squarely somewhat posterior to the third molars; the mesopterygoid fossa is broad, parallel-sided. The bullae are small (
