Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. M. Lambe 1906Supramarginal shields present in the carapace; mesoplastra well developed, in contact in the median line for some distance; intergular shield divided; inframarginal shields present on the bridges.
O. P. Hay 1908Like Baena, but having on each side supramarginal scutes, which alternate with the costal scutes. Nuchal bone short and wide. A preneural present.
E. S. Gaffney 19721) shell oval, sides roughly parallel; 2) ornamentation varied as in Baena; 3) nuchal scute much wider than long; 4) no anterior emargination; peripherals not meeting medially; 5) preneural bone present but much smaller than in Chisternon; 6) first vertebral scute roughly rectangular but anterior width invariably less than posterior width, paired lateral supracostal scute present; 7) supramarginal scutes present, usually three pairs; 8) last vertebral scute opening widely on posterior edge of carapace, scute width narrowing posteriorly due to presence of paired lateral supracostal scutes; 9) posterior edge of carapace slightly emarginated; 10) posterior edge of carapace scalloped; I 1) xiphiplastral notch absent; 12) paired intergulars meeting medially as do gulars.
