In both premaxillaries no teeth are preserved but 5 matrix-filled alveoli are shown; in both maxillaries 5 postcanine roots of greatly varying diameter are preserved, numbers 2 and 5 being much smaller than the other 3. 11302 from Buffelsvlei, Beaufort West, is a fairly complete but weathered skull. Although a somewhat larger skull than that of the type, it clearly belongs to the same species. It has the same massive fronto-naso-prefrontal swelling with a distinct step anteriorly and laterally.

(x !?) overhanging the preorbital side-wall; the jugal boss is very massive. On the right side there are stumps of 4 incisors and five or six postcanines; a well.
