Cheloidea

These are your Side-necked and Snake-necked turtles! These are pretty much all in the southern hemisphere. They inhabit areas like Africa, South America, and Australia. This Superfamily was first proposed by Gray et al. (1825) as "Chelidina". It has since been accepted, with its name being changed to "Cheloidea" in 2021 by the Turtle Taxonomy Working Group.







They include 1 family according to the Linnaean system, and 2 families according to PhyloCode. To make my life easier I am going to put the Linnaean classification here and separate them with PhyloCode on the actual page:
