The long, rectangular prefrontal, best preserved in MNA V8062 (Fig. 8), extends from the midpoint of the dorsal orbital rim to the narial margin. A prefrontal is pre- sent in the Ichthyophiidae, Uraeotyphli- dae, and Scolecomorphidae, but the bone has been lost or become incorporated into the maxillopalatine in other taxa (Nuss- baum and Wilkinson, 1989). The configuration of the posterior or-.
