Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos 2021 | The members of Testudinini represented in the Greek fossil record can be easily distinguished by those belonging to Geochelonini (see above) based on several characters from the shell: small size, with individuals do not exceed 50 cm in carapace length; presence of cervical scute; no contact between marginal 6 and pleural 3. |
