Comments |
See Comment under Emydura australis. Reviewed by Cogger et al. (1983). Wells and Wellington (1985:13-14) placed this species in their new genus Tropicochelymys; they also named the Jardine River population in Queensland as T. goodei, the Fraser Island population in Queensland as T. insularis, and the Leichhardt River population of Queensland as T. leichhardti, all three without diagnosis or adequate description. |
