Mauremys leprosa

description: Mauremys leprosa (Schweigger 1812:298)
Holotype: MNHN 1934 (Loveridge & Williams 1957:195; Bour & Maran 1999:30; Ceríaco & Bour 2012:19; photographed in Bour & Maran 1999:25); erroneously listed as MNHN 7934 in Iverson (1992:143).
Emys lutescens Schweigger 1812:302
Holotype: Not located; MNHN according to Bour & Maran (1999:28), apparently lost.
Emys marmorea Spix 1824:13
Holotype: Not located, presumably once in ZSM (Hoogmoed & Gruber 1983:351); illustrated in the original description (Pl. X).
Clemmys sigriz Michahelles 1829:1296
Holotype: Not located (Bour & Maran 1999:28); although Gray (1873:36) reported a specimen of Emys sigriz in the BMNH (1858.6.1.45).
Emys vulgaris Gray 1830:9
Syntypes (20+): including BMNH 1988.79; OUM 8482-88, 8762 (Nowak-Kemp & Fritz 2010:12– 13; who identified 8482, 8484, 8488, and 8762 as Mauremys leprosa; 8483, 8485, and 8487 as Mauremys rivulata; and 8486 as Mauremys mutica); and RMNH 3327 (actually M. rivulata; Hoogmoed et al. 2010:11, photographed therein). Plate 4 (top) in Gray (1831) was designated lectotype (iconotype) by Fritz & Wishuf (1997:244, 249). BMNH 1988.79 was erroneously listed as the holotype by Bour & Maran (1999:30; see also Fritz & Wishuf 1997:244, 249), apparently because the BMNH catalogue indicates that specimen as holotype.
Emys laticeps Gray 1854:134
Syntypes (5): BMNH 1947.3.4.43 (formerly 1848.8.22.9),1947.3.4.44(formerly1848.8.22.6), 1947.3.4.46, 1947.3.5.38-39 (formerly 1848.8.22.7-8); Bour & Maran 1999:28). One of syntypes presumably illustrated in Gray (1856: Pl. IX).
Emys fuliginosus Gray 1860:232
Holotype: BMNH 1947.3.4.45 (Bour & Maran 1999:29).
Mauremys laniara Gray 1870:499
Syntypes (2): BMNH 1946.1.22.52-53 (formerly 69.12.21.3-4; Bour & Maran 1999:29).
Emys flavipes Gray 1870:643
Syntypes (4 according to Gray 1870, but only 3 specimens known): BMNH 1946.1.22.31, 1946.1.22.43, and unnumbered (formerly 1861.10.1.4, 1870.12.22.7, and 1859.5.11.2; Bour & Maran 1999:29). Emys fraseri Gray 1870:643
Syntypes (1 specimen according to Gray 1870 and Gray 1873:35, but two specimens known): BMNH 1946.1.22.33-34 (formerly 1846.11.4.21- 22; Bour & Maran 1999:30).
Emys marginata Gray 1873:36
Holotype: Not located; possibly in the BMNH.
Mauremys leprosa atlantica Schleich 1996:32
Holotype: ZSM 35/1996 (photographed in the original description, p. 34, Pl. I, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:203); paratypes (3), ZSM 36/1996/1- 3 (photographed in the original description, p. 34– 35, Pl. I, Figs. 2–4; Franzen & Glaw 2007:203).
Mauremys leprosa erhardi Schleich 1996:36
Holotype: ZSM 13/1996 (photographed in the original description, p. 38, Pl. II, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204); paratypes (3), ZSM 14/1996/1-3 (photographed in the original description, p. 38–39, Pl. II, Figs. 2–4; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204).
Mauremys leprosa marokkensis Schleich 1996:40
Holotype: ZSM 79/1994 (photographed in the original description, p. 46, Pl. IV, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204); paratypes (7), ZFMK 52347-48, and 52971; and ZSM 80/1994/1- 4 (photographed in the original description, p.46–47, Pl. IV, Figs. 2–5; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204).
Mauremys leprosa wernerkaestlei Schleich 1996:44
Holotype: ZSM 81/1994 (photographed in the original description, p. 42, Pl. III, Fig. 1; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204); paratypes (4), ZSM 82/1994/1-4 (photographed in the original description, p. 42–43, Pl. III, Figs. 2–5; Franzen & Glaw 2007:204). Only four paratypes exist despite five being stated in the original description, and the numbers for the types are confused in the original description (Franzen & Glaw 2007:204). The holotype is photographed in Fig. 2b, not Fig.1 as stated in the original description (Franzen & Glaw 2007:204).
