|---|---|---|
| H. -Y. Tong and J. -Y. Mo 2010 | A genus of Nanhsiungchelyidae of moderate size; carapace length up to 450 mm, without midline keel; cervical notch well developed and wide, and first vertebral vase-shaped as in Hanbodgemys. Different from all other nanhsiungchelyids in having the first marginal scute short and wide, with a long free edge and long contact with the second marginal; the second marginal boot-shaped, with a medial process reaching the first vertebral, preventing the contact between the firstmarginal and the first costal scute. In addition, it is different from Hanbodgemys in having a larger and triangular first suprapygal, a large and triangular fifth vertebral extending onto the tenth peripheral, narrower lateral marginal scutes and a narrower posterior lobe of the plastron; different from Zangerlia in the narrower and longer posterior lobe of the plastron; different from Nanhsiungchelys and Anomalochelys in the smaller cervical notch and narrower vertebrals; different from Kharakhutulia in the narrower plastron and longer anterior plastral lobe, which extends beyond the anterior edge of the carapace; different from Basilemys in the larger cervical notch, narrower peripherals and smaller posterior lobe of the plastron. |
