Teeth forming broad bands, in 4 to 10 series on the sides of the upper 

 and lower jaws *. Mouth extending to below posterior border of eye 



* In this, as in other species, the bands of teeth are wider in the adult than in the 

 young, the great width of these bands in the type of A. amblodon being due to its large 

 size (1070 millim.).
