Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. B. Brinkman 2015 | (from Brinkman et al. 2010): a “derived macrobaenid” (sensu Parham & Hutchison 2003) differing from Osteopygis in lacking a strong contact between the first vertebral and the second marginal, in exhibiting a strong visceral ridge on the first costal, and in lacking massive triangular peripherals into which the peg-like thoracic ribs insert deeply. Differs from Aurorochelys from the Turonian-Coniacian of Axel Heiberg Island in the Canadian Arctic in the presence of a carapace that is oval, rather than round, in dorsal view. | |
| A. D. Gentry et al. 2023 | Judithemys sukhanovi can be differentiated from species of Osteopygis by the absence of a central plastral fenestra and from Aurorachelys and Appalachemys in having an ovoid carapace that is longer than wide. The lower jaw of J. sukhanovi can be distinguished from that of referred specimens of O. backmani by lacking symphyseal and lateral ridges on the triturating surface (Brinkman, 2013). |
