Description. Anterior cephalic margin forms smooth, semi-circular arc; length of anterior cephalic border is short to moderately long (length = 0.5–1 times length [sag.] of LO); LA contacts anterior cephalic margin; anterior margins of the frontal lobes at each side of the midline deflected posteriorly at roughly 40 degree angle relative to a transverse line; length (sag.) of LA long, equal to 1.5 times length of LO and L1 adaxially; LA does not expand prominently dorsally; lateral margins of LA proximal to lateral margins of LO; ocular lobes contact ... : Published as part of Gapp, I.
