Testudines (turtle)

Reptilia - Testudines

Taxonomy
Testudines was named by Batsch (1788) [used as the plural of Testudo by Linnaeus and not as a proper higher order name: see Dundee 1989]. It is extant. It was considered monophyletic by Joyce (2007) and Danilov and Parham (2008) and Pérez-García and Murelaga (2013).

It was synonymized subjectively with Testudinata by Hay (1930); it was reranked as the unranked clade Testudines by Laurin and Reisz (1995) and Li et al. (2008); it was reranked as the subclass Testudines by Benton (1985) and Agnolín et al. (2023).

It was assigned to Chelonomorpha by Kuhn (1966) and Haubold (1971); to Chelonomorpha by Haubold (1974); to Amniota by Benton (1985); to Testudinomorpha by Laurin and Reisz (1995); to Anapsida by Gauthier et al. (1989) and Peng et al. (2001); to Testudinata by Li et al. (2008); to Reptilia by Hay (1902), Holman and Case (1988), Shoshani et al. (1989), Frank and Ramus (1996), Weems and George (2001), Pearson et al. (2002), Meyer and Zardoya (2003), Parham and Pyenson (2010), Garcia et al. (2016) and Turvey et al. (2017); and to Testudinata by Joyce (2007), Danilov and Parham (2008), Sterli (2008), Pérez-García and Murelaga (2013), Perea et al. (2014) and Agnolín et al. (2023).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Owen 1860 (Chelonia)Trunk-ribs broad, flat, suturally united, forming with vertebrae and sternum an expanded thoracic abdominal case, into which, as into a portable chamber, the head, tail, and limbs can, usually, be withdrawn. No teeth: external nostril single.
R. Owen 1861 (Chelonia)Trunk-ribs broad, flat, suturally united, forming, with their vertebra, the sternum, and dermal bones, an expanded thoracic-abdominal case, into which the limbs, tail, and, usually, the head, can be withdrawn. No teeth: external nostril single.
E. Perrier 1928 (Chelonia)Corps de forme arrondie, revêlu de plaques cornées ou d'un épais tégument, recouvrant d'autre part une carapace formée d'os dermiques plus ou moins développés, lesquels se soudent à leur tour aux apophyses épineuses des vertèbres, aux côtes et au sternum; ceintures scapulaire et pelviènne demeurant, sans perdre leurs caractères essentiels, à l'intérieur de la carapace. Membres courts, construits pour pousser l'animal plutôt que pour servir à une marche régulière. Pas de dents; mâchoires courtes, revêtues par une gaîne cornée rappelant celle du bec des Oiseaux.
