A review of Chelonian type specimens (order Testudines) Author Iverson, John B. text Megataxa 2022 2022-01-25 7 1 1 85 journal article 20418 10.11646/megataxa.7.1.1 bd1f1932-a0fa-4daf-af9f-cc52c932ed40 2703-3090 5964441 3BD32BFF-0402-47FB-A9EE-FE08E260793D Graptemys pulchra Baur 1893:675 Syntypes (originally believed to be 2 specimens , but see below; photographed in Lindeman 2013:281 ): USNM 8808 ( 2 specimens ); the skull of one of the syntypes was removed and apparently catalogued as USNM Osteo 29526, but now both the specimen and its skull are numbered USNM 318254 ( Reynolds et al. 2007:15 ). Cochran (1961:231) and Lovich (1985) recorded both USNM 8808 and Osteo 29526 as the syntypes . USNM 8808 designated lectotype by Lovich & McCoy (1992:304) . FMNH 22171 (reported as “cotype” by Marx 1958:449 ) and USNM 220884 (not reported by Reynolds et al. 2007 ) were subsequently identified by Lindeman (2013:280) as additional syntypes . A detailed history of the confusion regarding the types of this species appears in Lindeman (2013:279–281) .
