Podocnemis unifilis Troschel 1848:647
Syntypes (2): ZMB 142 (2 specimens; Fritz et al. 1994:163); not lost as reported by King & Burke (1989:137–138), and Iverson (1992:77). ZMB 142 designated lectotype by Vogt et al. (2013:35), but not clear which specimen.

Syntypes (2): MNHN 7893 and 8359; MNHN 8359 (Ceríaco& Bour2012:19)designated lectotype by Bour (2006a:33, and both syntypes photographed therein, p. 30–31). Fretey (1977) erroneously listed MNHN 4152 as holotype of E. cayennensis, and that specimen was erroneously designated lectotype of cayennensis by Hoogmoed & Gruber 1983:343); it is a Podocnemis expansa (Bour 2006a:32; photographed therein).
