Description
Mauremys japonica (Temminck & Schlegel 1838:139)
Syntypes (at least 6): RMNH 3331, 3332 (illustrated in Schlegel 1844:Pl. 41), 3333 (2 specimens), 3334, and 6142. Several syntypes illustrated in Temminck & Schlegel (1834:Pls. VIII–IX and 1838:Pls. VIII–IX). RMNH 3331 and 3333 photographed in Hoogmoed et al. 2010:12–13, Fig. 6–7). In addition, two specimens in the BMNH may also be syntypical (Hoogmoed et al. 2010:14). MNHN 1954 was erroneously reported as syntypical by King & Burke (1989:42; repeated by Iverson 1992:142).
