The entoplastron is diamond shaped, with the posterior point slightly abbreviated.

Position of the entoplastron relative to the humeral-pectoral sulcus was miscoded by Coto and Acuna (1986) based on the incorrect reconstruction of Segura (1944).

The gulars of some specimens do not overlap the entoplastron (Fig.

The diagnosis for both Cuvierichelys and Landreatchelys proposed by Hervet (2004a) indicated that both taxa lacked well-developed keels in the carapace, but that they could have a poorly-developed posterior medial keel; moderately wide first vertebral, as wide as or wider than the nuchal plate; sub-straight or slightly curved lateral margins of the first vertebral scute; subtrapezoidal anterior plastral lobe, with rounded lateral margins; gulars not overlying the anterior region of the entoplastron, or showing a short overlap.
