The skull is very different from the Bawean Island Macaqtie, 

 being much smaller, with a narrow rostrum, decreasing in width 

 towards incisors ; the zygomatic arch has very little expansion, and 

 is parallel with the skull, being practically straight without curve; 

 orbits much higher than wide; a low ridge is present from frontal to 

 occiput, formed of the inner ridge-like edge of orbits uniting on anterior 

 part of the frontal, dividing again at the interparietal, and joining the 

 occipital ridge on either side ; tooth rows straight, palate narrow ; upper 

 incisors projecting.
