Taxonomy
Testudinata was named by Oppel (1811). It is extant.
It was reranked as the subclass Testudinata by Bonaparte (1850), Estes (1964), Estes and Berberian (1970), Haas (1978), Carroll (1988), Cvancara and Hoganson (1993), Joyce et al. (2004) and Martinelli and Forasiepi (2004); it was reranked as the suborder Testudinata by Lydekker (1889); it was reranked as the superorder Testudinata by Nopcsa (1928) and Roxo (1937); it was synonymized subjectively with Testudines by Kuhn (1966) and Dundee (1989); it was reranked as the unranked clade Testudinata by Fitzinger (1826), Cope (1891), Gardiner (1982) and Sterli (2008).
