The ectopterygoid (Ecp, Figs. 19-21) is slender, curved and toothless, as in Gaudryella. The endopterygoid is long and also toothless. The palatine (Pal, Figs. 15, 22B) is straight and rather heavily ossified, as in Gaudryella, but differs from the latter in having a row of about ten small, recurved teeth.
