Taxonomic remark From Gaffney et al., 2006: Moody used the neural number to recognize three genera in the Tunisian Eocene Pelomedusoides ... Broin (1977) and Antunes and Broin (1988) have disputed the use of this character, ascribing it to individual variation and lumping all three genera [Gafsachelys, Crassachelys and Eusarkia] into Taphrosphys. Broin (1988) and Lapparent de Broin (2000a) also synonymized Crassachelys with Taphrosphys. However, the neotype designated by Moody (1972) consists only of a central part of a carapace showing discontinuous neurals and a Taphrosphys-like texture. Given the variations in the neural pattern in North African Paleogene Pelomedusoides, this neotype must be considered inadequate for a diagnosable taxon. [details]
