Phrynops bellii Gray, 1844: p. 41
Current name: Myuchelys bellii ( Gray, 1844)
Holotype: OUM 8460 View Materials ( Bell Collection , not listed in the Catalogue of Testudinata; whole, dried specimen, SCL 11.2 cm, bears small label with number “209”).
Remarks: It is clear from Gray’s (1844: p. 42) description of Phrynops bellii that this species was based only on one specimen from the Bell Collection that is consequently the holotype. Phrynops bellii is currently identified with a Myuchelys species distributed in the Namoi and Gwydir subdrainages of the Murray-Darling basin. However, genetic confirmation of the provenance of the holotype of Phrynops bellii is needed ( Georges & Thomson 2010: p. 28).
