Small number of subdigital lamellae, maximum nine under the fourth finger and 15 under the fourth toe (Ouboter 1986: 48). Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.

Comment	Synonymy that of Ouboter (1986). GREER (1974) called tavesae “incertae sedis”.
