Evidence from Skull Morphology Like the variation in the trionychid shell, variation in the trionychid skull is sufficient to allow nearly complete resolution of the relationships of all 22 living species. Analysis of 23 characters of the trionychid skull using PAUP results in a minimum-length tree of 99 evolutionary steps. Three equally parsimonious trees produced by PAUP differ only in minor changes in the positions of Trionyx formosus and T^_ leithii. Variation in the three trees is represen...ted in the single solution cladogram by a trichotomy (Fig. 15). They agree completely in the remainder of their structure. The three equally parsimonious arrangements all support a monophyletic Cyclanorbinae as the sister group to a monophyletic Trionychinae. Lissemys punctata is always the sister group to all other cyclanorbines . Chitra indica and Pelochelys bibroni form a clade which is the sister group to the remaining Trionychinae. Trionyx cartilagineus is the sister group to two remaining major monophyletic units, the North American group with T^ triunguis T.
