Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos 2018 | Terrapene eurypygia can be diagnosed as a member of Pan-Emydidae based on the full list of characters mentioned above and of Terrapene based on the medial contact of costals VIII and the single suprapygal. Terrapene eurypygia differs from other Terrapene in the presence of a contact between the vertebral V and marginal X. |
