Remarks
: Most of the measurements of the

Moraes & Mesa (1988)
for specimens from
Colombia
. The average measurements followed by the respective ranges (in parentheses) are: dorsal shield length 278 (270–288), width 141 (138–145), j1 19 (18–20), j3 41 (38–48), j4 29 (28–33), j5 37 (35–40), j6 45 (40–53), J2 47 (43–53), J5 8, z2 40 (38–45), z3 38 (35–43), z4 42 (38–50), z5 37 (35–43), Z4 48 (43–53), Z5 44 (43–48),

S4 28
, r3 28, width of ventrianal shield 105 at anterior corners, length of shaft of spermadactyl 13. Only measurements of length and width of the dorsal shield and length of shaft of spermadactyl of this species were given in the original description. These measurements are similar those given in this paper.
