Submitted as Geometric Tortoise, but 4-7th marginals not distinctly higher than wide, and pattern does not appear typical of that species. Tent Tortoise seems more likely. |

Difficult to determine marginal height; colour could fit geometric tortoise; seems more likely geometric. |

Tent Tortoise. Marginals are tentorius-like and locality is well outside the known range of P. geometricus. |
