Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos 2018 | “Deirochelys” carri can be diagnosed as a member of Emydidae based on the presence of paired marginals XII and the expansion of vertebral V onto the pygal and as a member of Deirochelys based on the decoration of the shell, wider than long nuchal plate, overlap of the pleural I onto the lateral parts of the nuchal, unnotched peripherals, partial covering of the entoplastron by the gular scutes, and placement of the humero-pectoral sulcus posterior to the entoplastron. “Deirochelys” carri can be differentiated from other Deirochelys in the presence of a narrower neural, narrower costovertebral tunnel, wider covering of the pleural I onto the nuchal, and wider vertebrals. |
