Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
B. S. Tewari and G. L. Badam 1969 (Geoclemys sivalensis) | Carapace oblong and tricarinate, strongly arched transversely, lateral edges straight, margin not flared, nuchal pentagonal, three neurals, and three pairs of pleurals | |
R. Garbin et al. 2020 | Geoclemys hamiltonii can be differentiated from other geoemydids by the presence of three strong longitudinal carapace keels, neurals III-VI with anterior short sides, and an entoplastron that is intersected by the humeropectoral sulcus. |
