Dermatemys mawi Gray
Chinajá, 1; Río San Román, 4.

The four specimens from the Río San Román were obtained from edges of deep pools in clear water. In adult males the top of the head was reddish orange in life. One of the specimens from the Río San Román currently is living in the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens. The local name for this turtle is tortuga blanca; it is sought for its meat.
