Solemys
Solemys is an extinct genus of helyochelydrid stem-turtle known from the Late Cretaceous (late Campanian-early Maastrichtian) of southern France and eastern Spain.
Two species are known, the type species Solemys gaudryi (Matheron, 1869) and S. vermiculata de Lapparent de Broin and Murelaga, 1996. The former was originally assigned to the Cenozoic turtle genus Apholidemys by Matheron (1869), but de Lapparent de Broin and Murelaga (1996) recognized it as a stem turtle distinct from Apholidemys and renamed it Solemys.
The following cladogram displays the phylogenetic relationships of Solemys according to Tong et. al. 2023:
