The Adocidae are an extinct family of aquatic and omnivorous turtles. They are freshwater cryptodiran turtles and are mainly known from Cretaceous and Paleogene Asia and North America.^[2]

Taxonomy

Phylogeny modified from Danilov et al. (2013).^[2] Yehguia is most likely synonymous with Sinaspideretes, and is placed outside of Adocidae here for reasons proposed in Tong, Li & Ouyang (2013).^[3]
