| P. A. Meylan 1996 | Pelomedusoid pleurodire with : very flat, sculptured carapace in which first costals reach shell margin between nuchal and first peripherals, very long neck, reduced plastron lacking mesoplastra and gular scutes, inverted V-shaped entoplastron, J-shaped epiplastra forming a sharp point anteriorly, three midplastral fontanelles, postzygapophyses joined forming a single articular surface in cervical vertebrae 2-8, first thoracic strongly sutured to nuchal, and medial and lateral centralia absent. | |
| S. Fielding et al. 2005 (Araripemys arturi) | Araripemys in which the margin of the carapace lacks the distinct lateroposterior angle seen in A. barretoi. Peripherals IX and X are as long as wide. Additionally, the pedal unguals are simple, elongate, gently curved elements lacking the arrow-shaped termination of A. barretoi. |
