Hyoplastron: Length of margin bordering epiplastron, 25; length of
margin on midline, 37; length from junction of epiplastronal border and
outer border to point on posterior border equidistant from midline, 53;
width from midline to axillary notch, 39; distance between axillary
notch and posterior border, 31.

posterior (xiphiplastronal) margin, 40; distance from junction of
xiphiplastronal margin and outer margin to point on anterior border
equidistant from midline, 49 (estimated); distance between inguinal
notch and anterior border, 29.
Xiphiplastron: Length of anterior (hypoplastronal) margin, 38; length of
margin along midline, 43; distance from extreme posterior extension of
xiphiplastron to midline, 14.
