Comments |
Reviewed by Bickham (1980; as Pseudemys decorata), Seidel (1988), and Schwartz and Henderson (1991). Although Seidel and Inchaustegui Miranda (1984) considered this taxon to be a subspecies of Trachemys stejnegeri, they now believe it deserves species status (see Seidel and Adkins, 1987; Seidel, 1988). |
