Comments |
Reviewed by Smith (1931; as Clemmys bealei), Pope (1935; as Clemmys bealei), and Rödel and Praedicow (1988). Sachsse (1975), Rödel (1985), and Rödel and Praedicow (1988) suggested that Sacalia quadriocellata (Siebenrock, 1903a:336) was based on female S. bealei, and thus is synonymous with the latter. However, Fu and Zhao (1990) and Iverson and McCord (1992) argued that they are distinct species. |
