Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. Vlachos 2018“Chrysemys” timida can be diagnosed as a member of Emydidae based on the expansion of vertebral V onto the anterior part of the pygal and the presence of paired marginals XII. “Chrysemys” timida differs from other emydids by the presence of a vertebral I that is wider than the nuchal that contacts marginal II, presence of a boomerang-shaped suprapygal I that embraces the small and lenticular suprapygal II.
