Late Campanian, Late Cretaceous (Pereda Suberbiola et al. 2015) .</p><p>HOLOTYPE. — MCNA 6316, a nuchal plate (Fig. 1H).</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. — Late Campanian to late Maastrichtian of Southern France (identified in the Haute-Garonne Department) and Sorthern and central Spain (known in the Provinces of Burgos, Cuenca and Segovia) (Lapparent de Broin &amp; Murelaga 1996, 1999; Laurent et al. 2002; Pérez-García et al. 2010, 2012, 2016).</p><p>EMENDED DIAGNOSIS OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES (MODIFIED FROM PÉREZ-GARCÍA ET AL. 2012). — Member of Foxemydina with the following autapomorphies: carapace rectangular with straight or slightly depressed anterior margin; maximum carapace width in its posterior half; presence of six neurals and, therefore, sagittal contact of the last three pairs of costals; square first pair of marginals, covering more than half the lateral nuchal length. In addition, it is characterized by the following unique character combination: nuchal approximately as wide as long, with a short anterior margin (shared with Polysternon provinciale and Foxemys mechinorum); slightly curved lateral margins of the posterior plastral lobe (shared with Foxemys mechinorum); shallow and wide anal notch (shared with Foxemys mechinorum); large intergular, reaching the pectorals and preventing medial contact between the humerals (shared with Elochelys perfecta); pectoral-abdominal sulci very close to the anterior mesoplastral margins (shared with Polysternon provinciale and Foxemys mechinorum).</p><p>SHELL REMAINS FROM THE TYPE LOCALITY STUDIED HERE. — More than 200 plates from Laño, deposited in the MCNA and STUS collections, are attributable to Iberoccitanemys atlanticum n. comb. All of them are prepared and have been analyzed in detail to carry out this study. The main elements considered here, given the relevant characters from a systematic point of view (see Discussion), are those represented in Figures 1 to 3: two nuchals, MCNA 8599 (Fig. 1C) and MCNA 6316 (Fig. 1H); three neurals, STUS 15710 (Fig. 1G), STUS 15726 (Fig.1M), and MCNA 7096 (Fig. 3L, M); a suprapygal, MCNA MCNA 16165 (Fig. 3K); nineteen costals, MCNA 7033 (Fig. 1E), STUS 15630 (Fig. 1F), MCNA 6984 (Fig. 1K), STUS 15684 (Fig. 1L), MCNA 16177 (Fig. 1N), MCNA 16157 (Fig. 1O), MCNA 16171 (Fig. 1P), MCNA 16149 (Fig. 1Q), MCNA 7052 (Fig. 1R), MCNA 7051 (Fig. 1S), STUS 15647 (Fig. 1T), STUS 15652 (Fig. 1U), STUS 15655 (Fig. 1V), STUS 15702 (Fig. 1W), STUS 15674 (Fig. 1X), STUS 15698 (Fig. 1Y), STUS 15690 (Fig. 1Z), STUS 15682 (Fig. 1 AA), and STUS 15646 (Fig. 3N); five elements corresponding to peripherals, MCNA 7006 (Fig. 1A), STUS 15759 (Fig. 1B), three articulated plates numbered as MCNA 16123 (Fig. 1D), MCNA 7048 (Fig. 1I), and STUS 15753 (Fig. 1J); nine epiplastra, MCNA 16126 (Fig. 2A), STUS 15618 (Fig. 2B), MCNA 16139 (Fig. 2G), STUS 12104 (Fig. 2H), MCNA 7098 (Fig. 2I), MCNA 6320 (Fig. 2J), STUS 15616 (Fig. 2K), MCNA 7120 (Fig. 2L), and STUS 12105 (Fig. 2M); an entoplastron, STUS 12106 (Fig. 2C); seven hyoplastra, STUS 12193 (Fig. 2D), STUS 15607 (Fig. 2E), MCNA 16175 (Fig. 2O), STUS 15604 (Fig. 2P), STUS 15605 (Fig. 2Q), MCNA 16127 (Fig. 2R) and MCNA 7035 (Fig. 3O); two mesoplastra, MCNA 7076 (Fig. 2F) and MCNA 6323 (Fig. 2N); and five xiphiplastra, MCNA 6324 (Fig. 3A, B), MCNA 14167 (Fig. 3C, D), MCNA 16178 (Fig. 3E, F), MCNA 788 (Fig. 3G, H) and MCNA 6993 (Fig. 3I, J).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3C17F66550384B20EC83FA53FDDB428C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
