Banidens and HynoUus. A pair of nasalia are generally present, but are absent in Kecturus, Proteus, and Siren. The ]iarasphenoid is' furnished with teeth in the Plethodontinae and Desmognathinae. Separate palatine bones exist in Necturus and Proteus, and in the larva of Amblystoma, but in the adult form they fuse with the vomers, producing the vomero-palatiues characteristic of the majority of Urodela.
