Comments |
Reviewed (as Sternotherus depressus) by Iverson (1977b), Dodd et al. (1988), and Ernst et al. (1989). Considered by some authors (e.g., Wermuth and Mertens, 1961; Ernst and Barbour, 1972; and Mount, 1975) to be a subspecies of Sternotherus (= Kinosternon) minor, although Seidel and Lucchino (1981) provided additional evidence for specific recognition. |
