Means of measurement of shell sutures. 3) The posterior process of the jugal turns up in S. bealei, but turns down in S. quadriocellata. 4) The shortest distance between the orbital is located at the anterior prefrontal in Sacalia bealei. It is located at the joint of the frontal and prefrontal in S . quadriocellata. Shell suture differences Thirteen shell suture characters in S. bealei (N = 27) and S. quadriocellata (N = 26) were analyzed (Fig. 2). Seven characters (PA/PL, PB/PL, PE/PL, IH/PL, IAB/PL, IAN/PL, BL/PL) are different from each other (t, p< ), [Table 1]. Sexual dimorphism Sexual dimorphism was evident in Sacalia quadriocellata. In life, males have very distinct orange-red speckles near the neck and limbs, whereas females have not. The carapace is narrower at the anterior end than the posterior end in females, but both ends are nearly equal in males. The most interesting character is ocelli coloration. They tend to be greyish with a white ring surrounding the two ocelli on each side in males (Fig. 1), but tend to be yellow without a white ring in females. The skulls of the males were somewhat flat, narrow and long. The skulls of the females were somewhat convex, wide and short. Discussion Since Sac
