| V. B. Sukhanov and P. Narmandakh 2006 | Turtles with a shell up to 25 cm long. As a whole this species is similar to H. hoburensis Sukhanov and Narmandakh, 1974, but differs in having wider and lower carapace and thinner plates of the shell. The neural formula is also somewhat different: the neural 2 is rather rectangular, than hexagonal short-sided posteriorly as in H. hoburensis. The free edge of the bridge peripherals (anterior to peripheral 6) is upraised and sharpened (rounded in Kirgizemys Nessov and Khosatzky, 1973), that makes the peripherals hummer-like in cross section. In H. hoburensis the free edge of the bridge peripherals is not upraised and rounded in cross section. The posterior plastral lobe is wider than in H.hoburensis and tongue-shaped rather than wedge-shaped. The humeral-pectoral sulcus is almost perpendicular to the midline and located at the base of the anterior lobe, whereas in H. hoburensis it is curved backward that its lateral ends are situated far from the basement of the anterior lobe. The femoral-anal sulcus forms a strong anterior projection and the anal scutes extend on to hypoplastra. In H. hoburensis this projection is weak and the anals either only reach the hypo-xiphiplastral suture at the midline or may slightly extend on to hypoplastra. |
