|---|---|---|
| E. S. Gaffney et al. 2006 | A bothremydid pleurodire of the tribe Taphrosphyini with these unique characters among Taphrosphyini: skull very long and narrow with an elongate, tapering preorbital region; extremely long prefrontal, maxilla, and premaxilla; premaxilla with anterior projection extending anterior to labial ridge unique among turtles; apertura narium externa partially or completely divided by prefrontal and premaxilla; long squamosal projection extending posteriorly to an extent unique among turtles (except for some trionychoids); large, triangular basisphenoid nearly separating pterygoids; interorbital distance relatively shorter than in any other Taphrosphyini; fenestra postotica more horizontal than in other Taphrosphyini; processus trochlearis pterygoidei parasagittal and very small; other differentiating characters are: narrow jugal, in contrast to Azabbaremys and Phosphatochelys; squamosal with vertical flange, as in Taphrosphys and Phosphatochelys and in contrast to Azabbaremys; triturating surface a broadly curved trough, as in Taphrosphys and in contrast to all other |
