Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Cadena and W. G. Joyce 2015 | Notoemys oxfordiensis can be diagnosed as a panpleurodire by the sutural articulation of the pelvis with the shell, a pair of mesoplastra lacking a medial contact, a single gular scute, central articulation in the cervical column and the loss of inframarginals; as a platychelyid by presence of central plastral fontanelles and the straight anterior carapace margin; and as a representative of Notoemys by a smooth and flattened carapace and neurals than are consistently wider than long. Notoemys oxfordiensis is currently differentiated from other Notoemys by the reduced central plastral fontanelle. |
