| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. C. Garbin et al. 2019 | Banhxeochelys trani gen. et sp. nov. can be diagnosed as a representative of Testudinoidea by the presence of a contact between plastral and marginal scutes and the corresponding absence of inframarginal scutes II and III, as a representative of Pan-Testuguria by the presence of a pygal bone that is wider than long, as a representative of Testuguria by the presence of short anal scutes, and as a representative of Pan-Geoemydidae by the presence of anterior musk duct foramina (mdf; Fig. 2), complete intersection of the pygal bone by the intersulcus of marginals XII (Figs. 3 and 4), a median keel on the carapace, and a cervical scute (Figs. 2, 3 and 5). |
