Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos 2018 | Terrapene parornata can be diagnosed as a member of Terrapene based on the full list of characters provided above and of the Terrapene ornata group by the anterior contact of neurals III and IV with costals III and IV, respectively, presence of a small contact between the suprapygal and eleventh peripherals, and development of a thin peripheral lip for articulation with the posterior plastral lobe during shell closure. Terrapene parornata can be differentiated from other member of this group by presence of a complete neural series that fully separates the costals and placement of the vertebral III/IV sulcus on neural VII. |
