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

 has been referred to T. wolteri by Giiuther, 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 2\ times as long as head and body. 

 G-reen above, with the light lateral streak as in T. wolteri.

Habitat. — Corea and China (Kiu Kiang). 



Closely allied to T. taehydromoides. 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 he seen from Gtlnther's description. The tail has been 

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

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

 work.
