该科下属涉及到2个亚科和4个属,包括一些种类所细分的亚种。其中不免要说到麝香龟和泥龟,麝香龟因其受到威胁时,能散发出的麝香味,而被发现的学者以这样的一个特性所命名。而泥龟由于它独有的习惯,喜欢躲入泥中进行夏眠或冬眠,从此,便有了“泥龟”的称呼。

下面再说说各自的特性:
特征:一般泥龟的体型都不大,长度通常在4-7(10-16CM)英寸间,大多都有着一个半球形状的外壳和一条脊椎龙骨(背甲中央)。而大麝香龟属的龟却有着较大的体型,体长能达到12-15(25-40CM)英寸,雌性往往比雄性更大些,相同的是,它们的背甲都有三条醒目的、发育较为完整的脊椎龙骨。拥有十字形的腹甲,极易分辨。体型最小的非麝香龟类莫属,体长一般都不超过6英寸,背甲的颜色以黄色、橙色居多,腹甲则是橙色或红色居多。它们通常都分布在北美洲,显然,美国仍是它们主要的发源地与栖息地。
