Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Tong et al. 2002Primitive Cryptodira with one pair of mesoplastra meeting on the midline and lying on both pectoral and abdominal scutes, and narrow vertebral scutes. Differing from Chengyuchelys in having a clear ornamentation, consisting of ridges and tubercles, on the shell surface, a pair of mesoplastra lying on the anterior part of the bridge, a nearly straight posterior sulcus of the intergulars not cutting onto the short diamond-shaped entoplastron, and a loose plastron–carapace attachment. Differing from Xinjiangchelys in having one pair of mesoplastra, an ornamented shell surface, no dorsal process of epiplastron, a short diamond-shaped entoplastron and musk ducts included in the plastron
