SA 1. Second infraorbital articulating with the lateral ethmoid.

The pentacerotids have a second infraorbital that articulates with the lateral ethmoid anteromedially. This is a derived character, because in the primitive condition in typical percoids, the lateral ethmoid usually articulates with first infraorbital, but not with the second infraorbital (e.g., Gosline, 1984; Yabe, 1985; pers. obs.).
