Comments |
Reviewed by Stejneger (1907; as Geoclemys reevesii), Smith (1931; as Chinemys reevesi), and Pope (1935; as Geoclemys reevesii). Although the study by Lovich, Ernst, and Gotte (1985) showed little intraspecific geographic variation, that by Iverson, Ernst, Gotte, and Lovich (1989) suggested that significant subspecific variation exists. The latter authors synonymized Chinemys megalocephala Fang (1934:158) with Chinemys reevesii. |
