Agamidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Fig. 26A, B View Figure 26 )
In Laudakia stellio , the palatine has a rectangular shape and a massive, dorsally concave and subtrapezoidal vomerine process, whose margins are highly irregular. A triangular notch is present on the anterior margin of the latter process. The maxillary process is robust, moderately developed and subrectangular. Its posterolateral corner strongly extends posterolaterally, with a long and slender projection, and its lateral surface is the articulation surface with the maxilla. A moderately deep notch marking the medial margin of the infraorbital foramen is visible on the distal end of the maxillary process. The pterygoid process is wide and has a straight lateral margin and a slightly convex medial one. The posterior margin has a shallow concavity. The choanal duct is moderately narrow and reduced to the anterior part of the bone ( Fig. 26B View Figure 26 ). There are no palatine teeth.
