Size and Sexual Dimorphism. The largest specimen of C. prit- chardi vQcorded is a female of 228 mm carapace length. The largest male examined has a carapace length of 186 mm, indicating prob- able sexual dimorphism, with females larger than males. Calcu- lating the sexual dimorphism index according to the method of Gibbons and Lovich (1990) yields an SDI value of approximately for C. pritchardi. The
