Description. — Carapace (Figure 10) with two 

 slender frontal teeth separated by a space often 

 bearing a rudimentary submesial pair of teeth; 

 median epistomial spine below front prominent 

 and slightly exceeding frontal teeth. Metagastric 

 area with lateral sulci fairly deep but anterior and 

 posterior margins obsolescent, posterior width 

 greater than length. Inner orbital fissure usually 

 open. Anterolateral margins broadly arched, 

 teeth exclusive of outer orbital and lateral spine 

 relatively short and concave sided with acuminate 

 tips directed outward more than forward; lateral 

 spines short, about twice length of preceding 

 tooth, longer in juveniles. Surface finely granulate 

 and remarkably smooth except on anterolateral
