 Comments
       
  Comment: "Thomson et al. (2021) demonstrated the monophyly of the clade containing Chelydridae, Dermatemydidae, and Kinosternidae, supportive of an expanded Chelydroidea, as previously recommended by Crawford et al. (2015), which we now adopt, removing the previous concept of a more restricted Kinosternoidea, as recommended by Joyce et al. (2004) and others" (Turtle Taxonomy Working Group, 2021)
