Emys irrigata Duméril & Bibron, 1835: p. 276

Current name: Pseudemys rubriventris (Le Conte, 1830)

Syntypes (2 specimens): OUM 8441 View Materials ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 37c; whole, stuffed specimen, SCL 30 cm, bears small label with number “157”) ; OUM 8442 View Materials ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 37d; whole, stuffed specimen, SCL 26.5 cm, bears small label with number “156”) .

Remarks: Duméril & Bibron (1835: p. 276) credit the name Emys irrigata to an unpublished manuscript by Bell. Since Emys irrigata is considered a junior synonym of Testudo rubriventris Le Conte, 1830 , we conclude that the only two specimens of Pseudemys rubriventris (Le Conte, 1830) present in Bell’s collection should be treated as syntypes of Emys irrigata .
