Material examined. Holotype: MZUF 159 (figured specimen Duchassaing & Michelotti 1864), dry fragment, Isla Flamenco, Gulf of Panama, no further data.
Holotype description. Fragment of a colony 14.7 cm in height, and 5.5 cm in width. Branching seems to be irregularly dichotomous. Branches compressed at the lower part, reach up to 4 mm in diameter; they subdivide into more cylindrical branchlets 2–3 mm in diameter and tapered at the ends, with pointed tips of 0.5–1 mm in diameter. Unbranched final twigs reach up to 6 cm in length. Colony is light purple (Plate 8A). Marked longitudinal grooves occur along the thicker branches, and polyps are evenly distributed all around (Plate 8B). Polyp-apertures are small, up to 0.3 mm in diameter, and closely placed on the branch surface (Plate 8A–B). Coenenchymal sclerites are colourless, pink, and some bicoloured (Plate 8C); mostly double discs reach up to 0.06 mm in length and 0.05 mm in width (Fig. 12). Capstans reach up to 0.07 mm in length and 0.05 mm in width (Fig. 12). Spindles reach up to 0.14 mm in length, and 0.05 mm in width, with 4–6 whorls of warty tubercles (Fig. 12). No anthocodial sclerites were obtained in the samples for study.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in the Gulf of Panama (Table 4).
Remarks. Eugorgia panamensis was described by Duchassaing and Michelotti (1864) in the genus Lophogorgia. They gave a brief diagnosis, but accurately illustrated the fragment of a colony that constitutes the holotype. This fragment could fit in E. excelsa or E. purpurascens, but some differences in the sclerites and uncertainty in other characters (as in the branching pattern) lead us to keep the specific status for the time being.

Material examined. Holotype: ZMHC 4873, ethanol preserved, Acajutla, El Salvador, no further data.
Description. According to Bielschowsky the holotype was a colony, 11 cm in height, and 33 cm in width; it was composed of two main branches, compressed, about 7 mm in diameter, that subdivide from a 3.2 cm long stem, producing a flabellate colony, that was attached to the substratum by an incrusting holdfast. We examined a fragment 10 cm in height, and 6 cm in width (Plate 10A). Branching is lateral and irregular; branches subdivide up to 4 times in an irregular dichotomous manner. Branches are slightly compressed, 2.5–3 mm in diameter, branchlets are 2 mm in diameter, unbranched final twigs reach up to 3 cm long. Polyps are evenly distributed all around the branches, closely placed. They retract within slightly raised polypmounds leaving small oval apertures (Plate 10B). Colony is reddish purple (Plate 10A, B). Coenenchymal sclerites are all red; they are mostly double discs reaching up to 0.08 mm in length, and 0.05 mm in width (Plate 10C, Fig. 14). Spindles reach up to 0.13 mm in length, and 0.05 mm in width, with 3–5 whorls of tubercles. Some spindles have slightly bent ends (Fig. 14). Crosses and barrel-like sclerites occur in the sclerite samples. No anthocodial sclerites were found in the samples.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality, Acajutla, El Salvador (Table 4).

Emys olivacea

description: Emys olivacea Schweigger, 1812
Schweigger (1812: p. 307) described a carapace from the Adanson Collection of the Paris Museum as the new species Emys olivacea. According to the original description, the specimen originates “in sabulosis Nigritiae” [in the sands of Senegal] and is still present in the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN 7971). This specimen was not available to us.
Starting with Loveridge (1941), many authors used the name Pelomedusa subrufa olivacea for helmeted terrapins from the more northern parts of the species’ range, which usually have the pectoral scutes of the plastron separated, even though this character cannot be determined in the holotype, which consists only of a carapace. Moreover, Gasperetti et al. (1993) disputed the reliability of this trait, and since then most authors have treated P. subrufa as monotypic (see above and the review in Boycott & Bourquin 2008).
In our phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1), the concatenated 12S and cyt b sequences (Wong et al. 2010; this study) of a Senegalese Pelomedusa (ZFMK 17076) are assigned with high support to lineage III of Vargas-Ramírez et al. (2010). The placement of this topotypic terrapin suggests that Emys olivacea has to be identified with lineage III, which is otherwise known to occur in Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria (Vargas-Ramírez et al. 2010; Wong et al. 2010). The pectoral scutes of ZFMK 17076 are triangular, but the tips just meet in the midline of the plastron. A comparison of 21 helmeted terrapins from Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal from the collections of the natural history museums in Bonn, Frankfurt am Main, London, Port Elizabeth, and Vienna shows that specimens with pectoral scutes in narrow contact, as well as specimens with completely separated pectorals, both occur in lineage III.
If terrapins of lineage III should be regarded as taxonomically distinct in the future, Emys olivacea Schweigger, 1812 would be the oldest available name.

Pentonyx capensis

description: Pentonyx capensis Duméril & Bibron, 1835
Based on all Pelomedusa specimens present in the collection of the Paris Museum upon the time of the species description, Duméril & Bibron (1835: pp. 390–394) erected Pentonyx capensis. The series of syntypes comprised helmeted terrapins from the eponymous South African Cape Region and from Madagascar, but also the holotype of Emys olivacea from Senegal, which was considered by Duméril & Bibron to represent merely a juvenile Pentonyx capensis. We examined one of the syntypes, MNHN 9506 originating from “Le Cap”, and were allowed to extract tissue for genetic investigation. MNHN 9506 is an adult mounted male in good condition with a straight carapacial length of 23.45 cm (Fig. 4).
Mertens (1937: p. 139) restricted the type locality of Pentonyx capensis to the Cape of Good Hope. However, because no lectotype was designated this action was invalid (cf. ICZN 1999: Art. 76). Nevertheless, later authors identified Pentonyx capensis implicitly or explicitly with the nominotypical subspecies of the helmeted terrapin, if the species was treated as polytypic (Mertens 1937; Loveridge 1941; Bour 1986; Ernst & Barbour 1989; Iverson 1992). To stabilize this usage, we designate herewith MNHN 9506 as lectotype of Pentonyx capensis.
For the lectotype, mtDNA fragments of all three marker genes could be sequenced (Table 2). In phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1), the concatenated sequences of MNHN 9506 are embedded within other South African sequences representing lineage IX sensu Vargas-Ramírez et al. (2010). Thus, if lineage IX should be deemed taxonomically distinct, Pentonyx capensis Duméril & Bibron, 1835 would become a subjective junior synonym of Testudo galeata Schoepff, 1792.

Pentonix americana

description: Pentonix [sic] americana Cornalia, 1849
Cornalia (1849: pp. 312–313) described a specimen allegedly from “Novaeboracum” [= Novum Eboracum, New York] under this name. After its description, Pentonix americana has never been regarded as a valid taxon. It is traditionally identified with the helmeted terrapin (e.g., Boulenger 1889: p. 198; Mertens 1937: p. 139; Loveridge 1941: p. 473; Wermuth & Mertens 1961: p. 284, 1977: p. 115; Fritz & Havaš 2007: p. 345; van Dijk et al. 2012: p. 000.295), even though Strauch (1865: p. 111) doubted that it could be reliably assigned to any species. The type specimen was in the collection of the natural history museum of Milan (Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano) and was destroyed, together with most of the herpetological collection, by British air raids in 1943 (S. Scali, pers. comm.).
Pentonix americana is best treated as nomen dubium, because there is no further information available. Mertens’ (1937: p. 139) identification of “ Pentonyx americana ” with South African helmeted terrapins (“offenbar ein südafrikanisches Stück”), and thus with the nominotypical subspecies sensu Mertens (1937), is pure speculation. Mertens’ suggestion was later repeated by Loveridge (1941: p. 473 “probably a South African specimen”).

description: Pelomedusa nigra Gray, 1863
Based on three syntypes from Natal, Gray (1863) described the new species Pelomedusa nigra. Boulenger (1889) lists these specimens as k, l and m in his “ Catalogue of the Chelonians, Rhynchocephalians, and Crocodiles of the British Museum (Natural History) ”. Today, these mounted dry specimens are catalogued under the numbers BMNH 1849.1.30.27 and BMNH 1862.12.4.4–5 (the latter re-registered as BMNH 1947.3.5.80–81). Pelomedusa nigra was soon synonymized with Pelomedusa galeata (Strauch 1865: p. 111; Boulenger 1880: p. 151, 1889: p. 198) or Pelomedusa subrufa (Mertens 1937: p. 139; Loveridge 1941: p. 474), until Bour (1986: p. 37) resurrected it in a footnote as a subspecies of Pelomedusa subrufa. However, following Gasperetti et al. (1993) most authors abandoned the usage of any subspecies of Pelomedusa subrufa (cf. Boycott & Bourquin 2008).
The three syntypes of Pelomedusa nigra were examined for the present study and tissue for genetic investigation was extracted. We designate hereby the oldest specimen, BMNH 1849.1.30.27 (adult male, straight carapacial length 16.19 cm; Fig. 6, top), as lectotype of this taxon.
A fragment of the 12S rRNA gene could be sequenced from all three type specimens. In phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1), these sequences cluster with high support within lineage IX from South Africa. Moreover, the three type sequences are identical with a 12S sequence of a fresh sample from the same geographical source region (MTD T 5509, Ndumo, KwaZulu-Natal). Since we identify Testudo galeata Schoepff, 1792 with lineage IX, Pelomedusa nigra Gray, 1863 would become a subjective junior synonym of that name, if lineage IX should be considered taxonomically distinct.

description: Pelomedusa gasconi Rochebrune, 1884
Rochebrune (1884: pp. 25–26; plate 1: figs 1–2) described helmeted terrapins from several sites in Senegal (“Dagana, Saidé, lac de N’Guer, marigot des Maringouins” [the latter meaning mosquito oxbows of N’Gor lake, Dakar, Senegal]) as his new species Pelomedusa gasconi, which was later synonymized by Loveridge (1941: p. 480) with Pelomedusa subrufa olivacea. In accordance with this assignment, Rochebrune’s (1884) plate 1 shows a helmeted terrapin with widely separated pectoral scutes, although Rochbrune explained that this character may be variable (pp. 26–27). According to Angel (in Loveridge 1941: p. 480), there was no type specimen of Pelomedusa gasconi preserved. Loveridge (1941: p. 480) restricted the type locality to Dagana, Senegal, which is invalid without lectotype or neotype designation (cf. ICZN 1999: Art. 76).
The sites of the composed type locality are up to 400 km distant from one another. To restrict the type locality and to associate the name Pelomedusa gasconi Rochebrune, 1884 unambiguously with a genetic lineage of Pelomedusa, we designate in accordance with Article 75 (ICZN 1999) a topotypic specimen from Dakar as its neotype (ZFMK 17076, a subadult female of 11.18 cm straight carapacial length in alcohol; Fig. 6, bottom). For the neotype, mtDNA sequences are available (see also above under Emys olivacea Schweigger, 1812). Thus, the name Pelomedusa gasconi is to be identified with the same genetic lineage as Emys olivacea (lineage III of Vargas- Ramírez et al. 2010; Fig. 1) and becomes a subjective junior synonym of the latter name, if lineage III is deemed taxonomically distinct.

Pelomedusa galeata damarensis hewitt, 1935

description: Pelomedusa galeata damarensis Hewitt, 1935
This subspecies was based on two syntypes (shells) from “Quickborn, near Okahandja, South West Africa” [Namibia] (Hewitt 1935: p. 338). Actually, Quickborn is a farm approximately halfway between Okahandja and Otjiwarongo, Namibia. Following Mertens (1937: p. 139) and Loveridge (1941: p. 474), Pelomedusa galeata damarensis was later synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of the helmeted terrapin, if the species was regarded as polytypic. Herrmann & Branch (2013: p. 102) suggested that Pelomedusa galeata damarensis is morphologically distinctive and may deserve specific recognition.
The two syntypes of Pelomedusa galeata damarensis are now in the collection of the Port Elizabeth Museum (PEM R14953–R14954) and were examined for the present study. Whilst PEM R14953 is perfectly preserved, parts of the epidermal scutes on the right carapacial margin of PEM R14954 are missing. We designate herewith the better preserved specimen PEM R14953 (Fig. 7, top) as lectotype of Pelomedusa galeata damarensis. Tissue for genetic investigation was extracted from both type specimens. From PEM R14953, 252 bp of the 12S rRNA gene could be successfully sequenced, whereas only 35 bp of the 12S rRNA gene and 319 bp of the cyt b gene could be generated for PEM R14954 (Table 2).
In phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1), the sequences of both type specimens are embedded with high support within lineage VIII of Vargas-Ramírez et al. (2010). The oldest available name for lineage VIII is Testudo subrufa Bonnaterre, 1789 (see above), rendering Pelomedusa galeata damarensis Hewitt, 1935 a subjective junior synonym of the previous name, if lineage VIII should be regarded as taxonomically distinct.

The description of this subspecies was based on a single shell from “Besondermeid, Steinkopf, Namaqualand, C.P.” [Cape Province, now Northern Cape, South Africa] (Hewitt 1935: p. 337). Following Mertens (1937: p. 139) and Loveridge (1941: p. 474), Pelomedusa galeata devilliersi was later synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of the helmeted terrapin, if the species was regarded as polytypic.
The holotype of Pelomedusa galeata devilliersi is now in the collection of the Port Elizabeth Museum (PEM R14962) and was examined for this study (Fig. 7, bottom). Tissue for genetic investigation was extracted and mtDNA fragments of all three marker genes could be sequenced (Table 2). In phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1), the concatenated sequences are associated with high support with other South African samples representing lineage IX sensu Vargas-Ramírez et al. (2010), and thus Pelomedusa galeata devilliersi Hewitt, 1935 would become a junior synonym of Testudo galeata Schoepff, 1792, if lineage IX should be regarded as taxonomically distinct.

Pelomedusa galeata orangensis hewitt, 1935

description: Pelomedusa galeata orangensis Hewitt, 1935
Hewitt (1935: pp. 332–335) based the description of his new subspecies Pelomedusa galeata orangensis on several specimens from distinct collecting sites in South Africa. However, on page 333 he explicitly named a male shown in his plate XXXII, fig. 4, “the type”, so that it is clear that this specimen represents in accordance with Article 73.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) the holotype of Pelomedusa galeata orangensis. This terrapin was in the Kimberley Museum (now McGregor Museum, Kimberley) and originates “presumably from the Kimberley neighbourhood” (Hewitt 1935: p. 333). Following Mertens (1937: p. 139) and Loveridge (1941: p. 474), Pelomedusa galeata orangensis was later synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of the helmeted terrapin, if the species was regarded as polytypic.
The holotype of Pelomedusa galeata orangensis could not be located in the McGregor Museum (B. Wilson, pers. comm.), and must be considered lost. Efforts to sequence mtDNA of two paratypes from the collection of the Port Elizabeth Museum (PEM R9404, Warrenton, Northern Cape; PEM R9408, Thaba ‘Nchu, Free State) failed. However, genetic data were available for several South African localities encircling the type locality Kimberley (Vargas-Ramírez et al. 2010; this study), and all South African sequences correspond to lineage IX sensu Vargas- Ramírez et al. (2010). Consequently, we identify Pelomedusa galeata orangensis with this lineage. If lineage IX should be deemed taxonomically distinct, Pelomedusa galeata orangensis Hewitt, 1935 becomes a subjective junior synonym of Testudo galeata Schoepff, 1792.

description: Pelomedusa subrufa wettsteini Mertens, 1937
Based on five Malagasy specimens in the collection of the Senckenberg Museum, Mertens (1937: p. 141) described the subspecies Pelomedusa subrufa wettsteini. The holotype (SMF 7958) is an alcohol-preserved male from “Majunga, West-Madagaskar” [Mahajanga, western Madagascar] with a straight carapacial length of 12.26 cm (Fig. 8). The taxon was soon synonymized with the nominotypical subspecies of the helmeted terrapin (Loveridge 1941: p. 474).
The type specimens were examined for this study, but tissue was not extracted because many DNA sequence data are available for Malagasy Pelomedusa (Vargas-Ramírez et al. 2010; Wong et al. 2010; Fig. 1), which represent lineage VIII sensu Vargas-Ramírez et al. (2010). Thus, Pelomedusa subrufa wettsteini Mertens, 1937 would become a subjective junior synonym of Testudo subrufa Bonnaterre, 1789, if lineage VIII should be considered taxonomically distinct.

Type material. Holotype female on slide [UCRC]: MEXICO. Veracruz, 3 mi. N of Cardel by Río Actopan, 31.x.1982, A. González-Hernández, J. T. Huber, screen sweeping [UCRC ENT 311401]. Paratype: Chiapas, 30 km SW of Ocozocoahutla, 30.vi.1981, J. LaSalle [1♀ on slide, CNC].
Description. FEMALE. Body length 554–800 µm. Body mostly light brown except posterior half of midlobe of mesoscutum, parts of pronotum, axilla, scutellum, and metanotum, and basal gastral terga yellow to light brown; legs and antenna light brown or dusky.
Scape slightly curved, about 6.6× as long as wide; pedicel much longer than F1; all funicular segments longer than wide, F2, F3 and F5 subequal in length, F4 and F6 slightly longer and subequal, F1–F5 without mps, F6 with 1 mps; clava about 4.8× as long as wide, apparently with 5 mps.
Wings. Fore wing 6.0× as long as wide; blade slightly infuscate behind venation but otherwise hyaline, more or less uniformly setose including behind venation (with two irregular rows of setae behind parastigma); longest marginal cilia 0.84× greatest wing width. Hind wing about 20× as long as wide; blade hyaline; longest marginal cilia 3.2× greatest wing width.
Metasoma. Petiole much wider than long. Gaster longer than mesosoma; ovipositor about 1/2 length of gaster, a little exserted beyond apical gastral tergum, and 1.25× length of metatibia.
Holotype measurements (in Μm). Body 800; mesosoma 270; gaster 326; ovipositor 228. Antenna:scape (including radicle) 141; pedicel 49; F1 25; F2 25; F3 25; F4 43; F5 25; F6 49; clava 111. Fore wing 540:86; longest marginal cilia 74. Hind wing 510:31; longest marginal cilia 105.
Variation (paratype in Μm). Body length 554; Fore wing 6.1× as long as wide. Ovipositor as long as metatibia.
MALE. Unknown.
Diagnosis. In Triapitsyn et al. (2007), this species keys to the same couplet as E. (Erythmelus) coviellai Triapitsyn. It differs from the female of E. coviellai in F3–F5 without mps, F4 and F6 larger than other funicular segments and equal in size. It differs from E. hirtipenis because F4 is smaller or equal than F5, and F6 is the only segment larger than the others.
Etymology. This species is a noun in apposition standing for the professional Mexican football (soccer) club, Club de Fútbol Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, commonly referred to as Tigres de la UANL, or simply Tigres.
Hosts. Unknown.
