The first pleural contacts the posterolateral corner of the first marginal anteromedially and the second to fifth marginals anterolaterally. The second pleural appears to contact the fifth and sixth marginals laterally, and the third pleural contacts the sixth to eighth marginals. The fourth pleural contacts the eighth to tenth marginals. Of the four pleural scutes, the first covers four and the second and fourth cover three peripherals, whereas the third covers only two peripherals (the sixth and seventh).
