Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. G. Joyce and J. Anquetin 2019Riodevemys inumbragigas can be diagnosed as a paracryptodire by the full list of shell characters listed for that clade above. Riodevemys inumbragigas can most readily be differentiated from all other basal paracryptodires by apomorphically lacking a midline contact of the mesoplastra and from most baenids by lacking well-developed inguinal and axillary buttresses.
