Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Cadena and W. G. Joyce 2015 | Dortoka botanica can be diagnosed as a pan-pleurodire by the sutural articulation of the pelvis with the shell, presence of a well-developed anal notch, a single gular scute and the loss of inframarginals; and as a representative of Dortoka by the distinct micro- and macrosculpturing of the carapace, absence of contact between peripheral I and costal I, a lapping of pleural II onto costal I and the absence of mesoplastra. Dortoka botanica is currently differentiated from other Dortoka by the restriction of the sculpturing to the neurals, the rectangular pleural II that laps onto costal I along its entire width and the transverse humeropectoral sulcus. |
