Authors/Creators

Description

Platemys platycephala (Schneider 1792:261)

Holotype: Not located; illustrated in the original description (Pl. 7).

Platemys planiceps (Schneider 1792:plate 7)

Holotype: Not located; illustrated in the original description (Pl. 7).

Testudo martinella Daudin 1803:377

Holotype: MNHN 8760 (Ernst 1987:1).

Emys discolor Thunberg in Schweigger 1812:302, 348

Holotype: UPSZTY 723 (formerly UUZM 723); listed by Thunberg (1828:49), but not by Lönnberg (1896), Andersson (1900), Holm (1957), or Wallin (2001).

Emys canaliculata Spix 1824:10

Syntypes (4, one illustrated in the original description, Pl. VIII): only ZSM 3007/0 known to exist, designated lectotype by Hoogmoed & Gruber (1983:349); see also Franzen & Glaw 2007:204 where the lectotype is photographed (p. 205). Ernst (1983:350) erroneously considered ZSM 3007/0 the holotype.

Hydraspis constricta Gray 1831:43

Holotype: Not designated (fide Ernst 1983:350); not located, possibly in the MNHN, but apparently lost.
