ReferenceDiagnosis
J. H. Hutchison 2009 (Plastomenoides)Small to moderately large size; plastron without
post-entoplastral fontanelles in adults; hyoplastron, hypoplastron
and xiphiplastron rigidly sutured and completely
calloused ventrally; epiplastron subtriangular with short but
distinct lateral arm, epiplastron well calloused; entoplastron
transversely elongate with a relatively straight anterior margin,
calloused, recessed into hyoplastra and sutured to hyoplastra
laterally and posteriorly in adults; interclavicular alae inserted
into grooves on the dorsal side of the hyoplastra; hyoplastron
tapers laterally to a single point and expanded anteriorly to
enclose the lateral margin of the entoplastron; peripheral ossifications
apparently absent in mature adults; pelvis extending
beyond the bony confines of the carapace; carapace broadly
domed and oval to subrectangular; eight costals that thicken
and terminate abruptly; rib ends compressed, short and may
not extend beyond the costal margins; C8 moderate in size;
nuchal not smoothly contiguous with costal margins and
marked by a small spur or distinct change in angle near the
suture; nuchal wide and shallow and distinctly emarginate;
preneural present or absent.
