小長頸龜屬

小長頸龜屬（Chelodina）是蛇頸龜科下的一個屬, 其命名史相當複雜。 原先的大長頸龜屬（Macrochelodina）和窄胸長頸龜屬（Macrodiremys）現也屬於該屬。

小長頸龜屬只生活在澳大利亞、新幾內亞和印度尼西亞的羅地島。

大長頸龜屬在1985年首次被描述（作為一個新屬），其頭部和頸部都極長，嗜食魚，該亞屬中最大的寬甲長頸龜背殼長度可達。Macrochelodina expansa (Grey, 1856) - Broad-Shelled Turtle  其第一批化石（C. (M.) alanrixi）來自于昆士蘭州的始新世地層。Lapparent de Broin, F. de, & Molnar, R.
