Skull with prevomer divided and postchoanal portion absent; palatine absent; ethmoids small or absent. Pectoral girdle with well-developed clavicles and procoracoids reaching ventral midline cartilage and laterally the scapulae; omosternum small, cartilaginous; sternum large, cartilaginous. Terminal phalanges T-shaped.
Pupil round to slightly horizontal elliptical. Tongue oblong to obovate, posterior edge blunt to rounded, and half to two-thirds free. Palate with two to three transverse ridges or folds, anterior one (vomerine) smooth, usually medially interrupted, and adenticulate just behind choanae, middle one (postorbital) smooth and adenticulate between posterior edges of orbits, and posterior one (buccal) variably segmented and adenticulate lying about halfway between rear of orbits and epiglottis.
