Genus Cherokeesia View in CoL n. gen.
Diagnosis. Cherokeesia diverges from all the other known genera of the family Potamolepidae for diagnostic traits of the gemmules and skeleton. See species diagnosis.
Etymology. The genus name (feminine) is derived from the valiant and proud North American native people known as the Cherokee (possibly from the Choctaw Cha-la-kee meaning “people of the mountains” or Chi-luk-ikbi meaning “people of the cave country”).
