 transparent disk. Nostril pierced in the middle of the nasal ; no 

 supranasal ; anterior loreal as deep as the nasal ; frontonasal about 

 as broad as long, forming a broad straight or slightly curved suture 

 with the rostral ; prsef rentals forming a median suture ; frontal

 together, in contact with the two or three anterior supraoculars ; 

 five or six supraoculars, anterior much the largest ; eight to ten 

 supraciliaries, first large ; frontoparietals distinct, about as long as
