Zoology. 30 significant patterns amongst other gekkonids (Sumida & Murphy 1987) and may be ex- pected to do so in the CarphodactyUni, although this type of variation was not assessed in the present study. Hyobranchial Apparatus Character 18: Hyoid cornu with both anteromedial and posterolateral processes well developed (0), or with anteromedial process reduced and posterolateral process large, hooked (1). Character 19: Inner promixal ceratohyal process absent (0), or present (1). Character 20: Second epibranchial short, moderately to widely separated from second ceratobranchial (0), or long and recurred, nearly in contact with cerabranchial (1). Camp (1923) emphasized the importance of the hyobranchial apparatus by assigning the greatest "paleotehc" weight ( indication of primitiveness) to a character of this. : Hyoid apparati of representative carphodactyline geckos, (a) Nephrurus laevissimus (LACM 57101), (b) Rhacodactylus auriculatus (CAS 165895) and (c) Bavayia sauvagii (CAS 165905). Note the overlap of the second epibranchials in c (character 20), the shape of the hyoid cornu (character 18) and the presence of the inner proximal ceratohyal process in a. Scale bar = 10 mm. Abbrevia- tions are as follows: bh — basihyal cbl — first ceratobranchial cb2 — second ceratobranchial ch — ceratohyal cr — cricoid cartilage ebl eb2 eh - gh - he - - first epibranchial - second epibranchial epihyal glossohyal process hyoid cornu hh — hypohyal ipcp — inner proximal ceratohyal process tr — tracheal cartilages.
