Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos 2018 | Trachemys sculpta can be diagnosed as a member of Pan-Emydidae based on the characters listed for the clade above. Trachemys sculpta can be distinguished from other emydids based on the presence of wedge-shaped costals III–V in combination of hexagonal neural plates. Trachemys sculpta is associated with Trachemys based on the presence of an elongated cervical and covering of the lateral parts of the nuchal by pleural I. |
