Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Vlachos et al. 2019 | Member of Geoemydidae based on the following combination of characters: presence of anterior and posterior musk duct foramina; neural 1 quadrangular followed by hexagonal neurals with short anterolateral sides; rib heads wide and flat, placed near the neural/costal suture on the costals; 12th marginals divided, with their sulcus expanding on the suprapygal 2 that is crossed by the posterior border of vertebral 5. | |
| E. Vlachos 2021 | Mauremys can be distinguished by a vertebral I that contacts the marginal II, an entoplastron that is crossed by the humero-pectoral sulcus on its posterior part, short anal scutes, and a deep rounded anal notch. |
