Chelid taxonomic history is a bit confusing, however, once you get back beyond the 1920s: the name Chelydidae (not to be confused with Chelydridae, the snapping turtle clade), used from the late 1880s onwards, corresponds to Chelidae, and Hydraspididae was also used for the group at times.

I will not disagree with Matt Wedel’s contention that among the most interesting turtles of them all are the snappers: the two extant members of Chelydridae, Chelydra serpentina (the American snapping turtle) and Macroclemys temminckii (the Alligator snapping turtle) [incidentally, the Big-headed turtle Platysternon has been included at times within this family, though whether it’s even close to chelydrids is now disputed].
