Iverson, John B., 2022, A review of Chelonian type specimens (order Testudines), Megataxa 7 (1), pp. 1-85 : 26-27

Mauremys leprosa ( Schweigger 1812:298)

Holotype: MNHN 1934 ( Loveridge & Williams 1957:195; Bour & Maran 1999:30; Ceríaco & Bour 2012:19; photographed in Bour & Maran 1999:25); erroneously listed as MNHN 7934 in Iverson (1992:143).

Emys lutescens Schweigger 1812:302

Holotype: Not located; MNHN according to Bour & Maran (1999:28), apparently lost.

Emys marmorea Spix 1824:13

Holotype: Not located, presumably once in ZSM ( Hoogmoed & Gruber 1983:351); illustrated in the original description (Pl. X).

Clemmys sigriz Michahelles 1829:1296

Holotype: Not located ( Bour & Maran 1999:28); although Gray (1873:36) reported a specimen of Emys sigriz in the BMNH (1858.6.1.45).

Emys vulgaris Gray 1830:9

Syntypes (20+): including BMNH 1988.79; OUM 8482-88, 8762 (Nowak-Kemp & Fritz 2010:12– 13; who identified 8482, 8484, 8488, and 8762 as Mauremys leprosa ; 8483, 8485, and 8487 as Mauremys rivulata ; and 8486 as Mauremys mutica ); and RMNH 3327 (actually M. rivulata ; Hoogmoed et al. 2010:11, photographed therein). Plate 4 (top) in Gray (1831) was designated lectotype (iconotype) by Fritz & Wishuf (1997:244, 249). BMNH 1988.79 was erroneously listed as the holotype by Bour & Maran (1999:30; see also Fritz & Wishuf 1997:244, 249), apparently because the BMNH catalogue indicates that specimen as holotype.

Emys laticeps Gray 1854:134

Syntypes (5): BMNH 1947.3.4.43 (formerly 1848.8.22.9),1947.3.4.44(formerly1848.8.22.6), 1947.3.4.46, 1947.3.5.38-39 (formerly 1848.8.22.7-8); Bour & Maran 1999:28). One of syntypes presumably illustrated in Gray (1856: Pl. IX).

Emys fuliginosus Gray 1860:232

Holotype: BMNH 1947.3 .4.45 ( Bour & Maran 1999:29).

Mauremys leprosa erhardi Schleich 1996:36

Mauremys leprosa marokkensis Schleich 1996:40

Holotype: ZSM 79/1994 (photographed in the original description, p. 46, Pl. IV, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204); paratypes (7), ZFMK 52347-48, and 52971; and ZSM 80/1994/1- 4 (photographed in the original description, p.46–47, Pl. IV, Figs. 2–5; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204).

Mauremys leprosa wernerkaestlei Schleich 1996:44

III, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204); paratypes (4), ZSM 82/1994/1-4 (photographed in the original description, p. 42–43, Pl. III, Figs. 2–5; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204). Only four paratypes exist despite five being stated in the original description, and the numbers for the types are confused in the original description ( Franzen & Glaw 2007:204). The holotype is photographed in Fig. 2b, not Fig.1 as stated in the original description ( Franzen & Glaw 2007:204).
