Vertebral centra fused early with neural arches. Heterodonty combined with unicuspid crowns. Modal dental formula: 3 in premaxilla, 3−4.1.1. in maxilla, 5.1.2. in dentary. The vomer bears usually 5–6 large teeth. One of them is anteromedial in position, the other are organized in a single lateral row. The posteromedial part of the vomer is toothless. Palatine without teeth. Pterygoid ventrally concave; no teeth on the transverse flange. Very strong, indented premaxilla−maxillary joint.
