Graptemys p. sabinensis differs from G. p. pseudogeographica in that the postorbital spot is oval or elongate, 5-9 of the longitudinal neck lines enter the orbit, the ventral surface of the jaw has transverse bands, the head is not broadened, the size at sexual maturity is smaller (Cl. 6 cm. in males and 11 cm, in females), individuals of both sexes retain the spines of the second and third vertebrals, and the carapace remains high and arched; it differs from G. p. versa in that the pattern of neck lines is uninterrupted and the lines enter the orbit, the carapace is high and steep-sided and retains the vertebral spines, and the plastron has a central black pattern of longitudinal lines; it differs from G.. p. ouachitensis in that the postorbital marking is oval or elongate, 5-9 of the longitudinal lines enter the orbit, the ventral surface of the jaw has transverse bands, and there are more than four lines on the anterior surface of the forelimb.
