No entire maxilla is preserved but there is a sufficiently large number of maxillary heads to show that this end of the bone differs in several respects from the maxilla in other species of Lates and in Luciolates. In L. rhachirhinchus the dorsal process, for articulation with the ethmoid-vomer, is relatively higher and more rectangular in outline. The premaxillary process differs in having a less well-defined articulatory process on the portion directed ventro-medially, which in turn is separated from the dorsal portion by a deeper and.
