Emys crassicollis Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1831: p. 8

Current name: Siebenrockiella crassicollis (Gray, 1831)

Syntypes (3 specimens): OUM 8479 ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 33a; whole, stuffed female, SCL 17.7 cm, bears small label with number “186”) ; OUM 8480 ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 33b; whole, stuffed specimen, SCL 16.6 cm, bears small label with number “188”) ; OUM 8481 ( Bell Collection ; shell, juvenile, SCL 12.2 cm, bears small label with number “187”) .

Remarks: Gray (1831a: p. 21) mentions that he has studied specimens of Emys crassicollis from Bell’s collection and from the Natural History Museum, London. King & Burke (1989) erroneously claim that BMNH 1947.3.5.36 is the holotype of Siebenrockiella crassicollis . OUM 8480 is figured in plate 76 (fig. 2) of Gray’s Illustrations of Indian Zoology.
