Procumbent teeth project forward from the tips of the upper and lower jaws, which is highlighted in the species name "chauliodis" that roughly means buck-toothed.
Key to this possible close affinity with the aye-aye is the identity (canine vs. incisor) of the procumbent front teeth of both species, neither of which is definitively known.
The dentition is complete with strong, procumbent, chisel-shaped incisors, strong sharp-pointed canines, and low-crowned cheek teeth with bilophodont molars.
