		As currently interpreted (Gaffney and Meylan, 1988), Chelidae is the sister group to Pelomedusoides (see Podocnemis, Pelusios, and Hamadachelys); these groups are united by the unique characters of Pleurodira including the processus trochlearis oticum, a jaw muscle pulley arrangement (see Gaffney website).
		Chelidae is diagnosed by unique features of the skull that can be seen in Elseya.

		The family Chelidae is comprised of side or snake-necked turtles.
		In the case of the mata mata, the neck is longer than the backbone within the shell.
		Unlike most other chelonians whose necks are withdrawn into the carapace in a vertical S-curve, the mata mata and other chelidae, retracts its neck in a horizontal S-curve.

		Gaffney and Meylan (1988) elaborated upon Gray's (1831a) definition of Testudinata to include that the post parietals are absent, lacrimal bone small or absent, teeth replaced by horny triturating surfaces, parietal (pineal) opening usually absent, stapes solid and rod-like, and postfrontal absent.
		The family Chelidae (Gray 1831a) has Gondwanan origins and first registers in the lower Cretaceous period of Patagonia (Fuente 1997).
		The chromosome number in the Chelidae (Bull and Legler 1978; Legler and Georges 1993) ranges from 2n=50 to 64 (96 in triploid Platemys).

	ETI - Turtles of the World: Temperature-dependent sex determination
		With the exception of the genera Platemys (XY, Chelidae), Staurotypus (XY, Kinosternidae), and Siebenrockiella (XY) and Kachuga smithii (ZW) (Bataguridae), turtles lack heteromorphic sex chromosomes (either XY male heterogamety, or ZW female heterogamety); their mechanism for sex determination is different than in humans.
		The smaller sex is typically produced at the coolest incubation temperatures.
		Incubation temperature seems to have no great influence on sex ratios in turtles of the family Chelidae.

		Phylogeography of Hydromedusa maximiliani was assessed by sequencing a 416 bp fragment from the mtDNA control region.
		Divergence dates of 8-16 million years ago for eastern and western H. maximiliani populations fit orographical activities resulting in Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira mountain uplifts during Pliocene and Miocene.
		Since the genetic variation of this turtle seems to be structured according to the natural hierarchical system of rivers and streams within drainages, management programs involving translocations between different regions across the geographical range of H. maximiliani should be viewed with caution.
