Treatment

Terrapene carolina ( Linnaeus 1758:198) View in CoL

Holotype: Not located; illustrated in Edwards (1751:Pl. 205).

Testudo carinata Linnaeus 1758:198 View Cited Treatment

Holotype: Not located; possibly originally in the UZM or NRM, but not listed by Linné & Thunberg (1780), nor located by Schoepff (1792: xi). UPSZTY 277 (formerly UUZM 277 and MGA 46), listed by Holm (1957:58) and Wallin (2001:126) as the possible holotype, is not the type but rather the unpublished type of Testudo carinata Thunberg 1810 , which is a Geoemyda spengleri (see entry for G. spengleri ).

Testudo brevicaudata Lacepède 1788:169

Holotype: Not located; possibly in the MNHN.

Testudo incarcerata Bonnaterre 1789:29

Holotype: Not located; possibly in the MNHN.

Testudo incarceratostriata Bonnaterre 1789: 29

Holotype: Not located; possibly in the MNHN.

Testudo clausa Gmelin 1789:1042

Holotype: Not located; illustrated in Bloch (1786: Pl. I).

Testudo virgulata Latreille in Sonnini & Latreille 1801:100

Holotype: Not located; presumably in the MNHN according to Smith & Smith (1980:552); illustrated in the original description (opp. p. 100, Fig. 1).

Emys schneideri Schweigger 1812:317 View in CoL

Syntypes (2): Not located; originally in MNHN and MZUS, apparently lost.

Monoclida kentukensis Rafinesque 1822:5

Holotype: Not located.

Didicla erythrops Rafinesque 1822:5

Holotype: Not located.

Terrapene maculata Bell 1825:309

Holotype or syntype: OUM 8503 View Materials ; other syntypes might include OUM 8501-02 View Materials , 8504-05 View Materials , and 8507-08 (Nowak-Kemp & Fritz 2010:10).

Terrapene nebulosa Bell 1825:310

Holotype or syntype: OUM 8506 View Materials ; other syntypes may exist (Nowak-Kemp & Fritz 2010:10).

Emys (Cistuda) carolinae fusca Gray 1830:7

Holotype: Not located; possibly OUM.

Emys kinosternoides Gray 1830:12

Holotype: Not located; originally RCSM.

Cistudo virginea Agassiz 1857:260 , 445

Syntypes (28 total, all in the MCZ according to Smith & Smith 1980:553): MCZ 1526–1535 (10 specimens), 1537 (1), 1539 (1), 1542–1550 (9), 1552, 1554, 1555 (5), and 1557 (1) according to Barbour & Loveridge (1929:242).Ernst & McBreen (1991:2) also list MCZ 1538, 1540, 1555 (only 2), and 1556 (2). Current MCZ on-line catalog also lists 184563-66. The restriction of the type locality by Smith & Smith (1980:553) restricts the selection of a lectotype to the series MCZ 1546, 1548-50, and 1545-46, collected at that locality.
