Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| W. G. Joyce and S. Bandyopadhyay 2020 | ainemys pisdurensis comb. nov. can be diagnosed as a representative of Bothremydidae by the combination of the following characters: wide prefrontals (as opposed to Pelomedusidae and Euraxemydidae); expanded triturating surfaces with moderate palatine contribution; absence of a cavum pterygoidei (as opposed to Podocnemididae); likely presence of a small ventral exposure of the prootic at the junction between basisphenoid, pterygoid, and quadrate; and basisphenoid-quadrate contact (also in Podocnemididae) and as a representative of Kurmademydini by the likely presence of extremely deep upper temporal emargination, jugal contribution to orbit (as opposed to Cearachelyini), pentagonal basisphenoid (as opposed to Cearachelyini), and the likely placement of mandibular condyle anterior to basioccipital (diagnostic character taken from Gaffney, Tong & Meylan, 2006). |
