Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V. B. Sukhanov et al. 1999Middle-sized turtles (length of the shell about 20 cm) with well developed buttresses (the posterior buttresses extend inward from the free borders of the hinder lobe about one third the distance to the midline). The bridge is slightly elevated above the plastron plane and makes little contribution to the height of the shell. Four pairs of inframarginals of which the first and the fourth are wide and the second and the third are narrow. The third inframarginal is restricted to the hypoplastron. The inframarginals occur mainly on the plastron but can partially come to peripherals. The medial sulcus of the plastron is sinuous. The entoplastron is relatively big (occupies more than 12 length of the anterior lobe of the plastron), crossed by gulo-humeral sulcus. The sculpture of the plastron weakly developed.
