Familia: Trionychidae
Subfamiliae (3): Cyclanorbinae – Trionychinae – †Plastomeninae
Stem Trionychids: †Axestemys – †Drazinderetes – †Gilmoremys – †Gobiapalone – †Khunnuchelys – †Kuhnemys – †Murgonemys – †Perochelys

Name

• Trionychidae Fitzinger, 1826

Note:

Plastomenidae used as subfamily to reconcile Paleo and Living taxa taxonomy. One is using Phylocode the other ICZN system. Higher order reconciliation necessary. Unassigned basal taxa will need to be assigned at a later date the basal Trionychids are highly unresolved.
