Comments |
Includes Graptemys kohnii (Baur, 1890a) according to Vogt (1978; 1980) and Ward (1980); this arrangement is supported by the molecular studies of Trip Lamb (pers. comm.; see also the phylogeny for the genus on p. 178). However, this synonymy is not universally accepted (e.g., see Conant and Collins, 1991). Distribution follows Vogt (1978) until the range and specimen identifications are better clarified. |
