Taxonomic remark Genus based on "Testudo" leithii Carter, 1852. From Gaffney et al., 2006: ‘‘Testudo’’ leithii Carter was originally recognized as a pleurodire by its author, despite being referred to "Testudo". Subsequently, Gray (1871) assigned the species to the chelid genus, Hydraspis, which was questioned by Williams (1953), who suggested that the original figures showed a mesoplastron and that the skull looked like Stereogenys, a podocnemidid. However, the original description and Williams' diagnosis of the genus are inadequate to diagnose this taxon. [details]
