The word parafacial is an adjective. Parafacialium is the cephalic edge line located between will profrons and the vibrissarium. Parafacialia is the plural of the word parafacialium For that, the indication of Rognes in figures 1 and 3 of its book (1991) is false, because he is not a good taxonomist and morphologist. - Prof Dr. Andy Z Lehrer
