Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Y. Rollot et al. 2025 | Allaeochelys meylani sp. nov. can be diagnosed as a representative of Carettochelyidae by a bone surface ornamentation made up of thick ridges separated by equally sized grooves, presence of a quadrate fossa, presence of a midline carapacial keel, paired nuchal processes, and presence of a lip formed on the visceral side of the posterior peripherals and pygal. |
