Comments |
Elevated to species status by Vogt (1978; 1980) and supported by Ward (1980), although considered a subspecies of G. pseudogeographica by Conant and Collins (1991). Includes Graptemys sabinensis according to Vogt (1978; 1980), although Ward (1980) suggests that this taxon may deserve separate species status. Distribution follows Vogt (1978) until the range and specimen identifications are better clarified. |
