Agamidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Fig. 47A, B View Figure 47 )
In Laudakia stellio , the coronoid is robust and roughly straight in dorsal view. It has a well-developed, stocky and dorsally rounded coronoid process. There is no labial process and the anteromedial one is well developed, laminar and provided with an expanded (not pointed) anterior end. The posterior process is moderately short and pointed. A groove for the articulation with the dorsal margin of the surangular is present on its ventrolateral surface ( Fig. 47A View Figure 47 ). The coronoid and the posterior processes are connected by a low and thin osseous lamina. The posteromedial process is long, thick and straight in medial view. It has a roughly rounded ventral end. On the medial surface of the bone, a very thick coronoid ridge runs from the coronoid process to the ventral end of the posteromedial process ( Fig. 47B View Figure 47 ). The ridge is less developed in juveniles.
