Resumen:
Abstract: Although Pleurodiran turtles represent an important component of extant turtle radiation, our knowledge of adult limb variation and homology in turtles rests mostly upon observations made on derived members of the more diversified Cryptodiran clade. Herein, we describe limb development in three pleurodirans: Podocnemis unifilis, P. sextuberculata and Phrynops hilarii, as an effort to contribute in filling this important anatomical gap. At earlier stages, we described the Y-shaped condensation that gives rise to the zeugopodial cartilages, and differentiation of the primary axis/digital arch that reveals the invariant pattern common to tetrapods. There are up to four central cartilaginous foci in the carpus, and the proximal tarsal is formed by the fusion of the fibulare, intermedium and Central 4. Digital development is similar for the five digits. Changes in Toe V occur predominantly in the Distal Tarsal 5. Ontogenetic reduction of phalanxes is observed in Toe V of Podocnemis. Based on these results, we suggest that the hooked element present in the chelonian tarsus, and traditionally recognized as a modified fifth metatarsal, is actually the fifth distal tarsal. Additionally, our data on limb development of pleurodiran turtles supply more taxonomically comprehensive information to interpret limb variation within the chelonian clade. these results, we suggest that the hooked element present in the chelonian tarsus, and traditionally recognized as a modified fifth metatarsal, is actually the fifth distal tarsal.
