| E. S. Gaffney et al. 2003 | A genus of bothremydid pleurodire with triangular skull, orbits dorsolaterally placed; extensive temporal emargination and small postorbital as in Kurmademys (Gaffney et al., 2001b) and in contrast to all other bothremydids; triturating surfaces roughly parallel and without pits, but with accessory ridge parallel to labial ridge unique among bothremydids; foramen posterius canalis carotici interni formed by pterygoid and basisphenoid in contrast to basisphenoid only in Kurmademys; foramen stapedio-temporale not visible in dorsal view as in other bothremydids, but in contrast to Kurmademys; prootic and foramen nervi facialis exposed in ventral view as in Kurmademys. |
