A fourth specimen, without locality, but probably from N. China, 

 has been referred to T. wolteri by Griinther, but it differs in having 

 3 chin-shields on one side and 4 on the other, and the ventral shields 

 all strongly keeled. The tail is 2i times as long as head and body. 

 Green above, with the light lateral streak as in T. wolteri.

Closely allied to T. tachydromoides. Differs in having 8 longitudinal 

 series of dorsal plates, 27 to 29 transverse series of ventral plates 

 (instead of 22 to 24 in males), and a single femoral pore.

* The male type specimen figured is represented with an intact tail, which 

 is not the case, as may be seen from Giinther's description. The tail has been 

 restored by the artist. Such restorations were often resorted to in those days 

 and have given rise to confusion, as in the case of Chitra indica in the same 

 work.
