Holotype
PAL MgD I/105, a single weathered cranium and the posterior portion of the lower jaws. The skull has a strongly elevated dome that incorperates the postorbitals and supraorbitals. Because the parietosquamosal shelf is narrow, supratemporal fenestra are probably absent.
The dome and occiput are narrower and the postorbital bar and quadrate are more slender than in Prenocephale.
Diagnosis
Diagnostic features include a narrow, deep skull and large fossa on the quadratojugal.
