Testudo graeca subsp. zarudnyi Nikolsky 1896
Authors/Creators
Description
Testudo graeca zarudnyi Nikolsky 1896:369
Holotype: Not originally designated, but identified in Nikolsky (1897:309) as ZIN 8738 (photographed in Perälä 2002:95, Fig. 7, and Danilov & Milton 2004:46, and genetically sampled by Parham et al. 2012). Perälä (2002) mistakenly considered BMNH 1947.3.5.17 (formerly 1899.7.25.1; photographed in Perälä 2002:96, Fig. 8) and ZIN 8738 as syntypes, and unnecessarily designated ZIN 8738 as lectotype (Parham et al. 2012:75).
