Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. D. Gentry et al. 2023Judithemys 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).
