Carapace rather strongly depressed, with an obtuse keel; pos- 
terior margin serrated; each posterior marginal, in the young, 
bicuspid ; vertebral shields much broader than long, nearly as broad 
as the costals in the adult; nuchal of moderate size. Plastron 
large, scarcely concave in the male, truncate or openly emarginate 
anteriorly, angularly notched posteriorly ; the width of the bridge 
equals the length of the hind lobe; the longest median suture is 
that between the abdominal shields, the shortest that between the 
humerals; axillary and inguinal shields well developed, latter 
largest. Head rather small; upper jaw neither hooked nor notched ; 
the width of the mandible at the symphysis is less than the hori- 
zontal diameter of the orbit. Digits webbed to the claws. Tail 
about as long as the carapace in the young, half as long in the 
adult. Shell dark brown above, black inferiorly ; in the young 
the anterior and posterior plastral lobes narrowly margined with 
yellowish ; soft parts olive-brown or blackish ; a pale brown streak 
along the outer border of the limbs and a broad pale brown band 
along the upper surface of the tail. 
Length of shell 14 centim.
