Agamidae View in CoL View at ENA ( Fig. 41A–D View Figure 41 )

Each otooccipital of Laudakia stellio composes less than a third of the occipital condyle. Two moderately wide hypoglossal foramina are present. The paroccipital process is long and well developed, and a laminar ridge is present on the proximal half of its ventral surface ( Fig. 41A, D View Figure 41 ). Other lower ridges are visible on the anterior and dorsal surfaces, running along the entire process and lowering distally. A medium-sized foramen for the posterior portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve is visible in anterior view, between the opening of the ampullary recess and the perilymphatic foramen ( Fig. 41A View Figure 41 ). It opens posteriorly on the ventromedial wall of the cavum capsularis.
