Kinosternoidea is a superfamily of aquatic turtles, which included two families: Dermatemydidae, and Kinosternidae. These are nowadays usually considered independent families of the Trionychia, among which they represent very plesiomorphic members which share a few peculiarly advanced traits. These apomorphies coupled with the overall "primitiveness" was what mislead scientists as to their actual relationships. ==Classification== (詳細はDermatemydidae family〔 :: *''Dermatemys'' genus〔 :: *''Baptemys'' genus〔Walter G.
