Geochelone elegans ( Schoepff 1795:111)
Holotype / Syntypes: Not located, although Schoepff (1795) stated that the specimen illustrated in the original description (Pl. XXV) was from the “Museis Hagae Comitis et Harlemi” [possibly in the TSMHN in Haarlem, Netherlands]. Note that Wallin (1977:77) showed that the Linnaean type of Testudo geometrica ( UUZM 20; Wallin 2001:126) is this species, rather than Psammobates geometricus (see Comment under that species).
Testudo actinodes Bell 1828:419
Syntypes (at least 5): OUM 8555-56, 8558-60 (Nowak-Kemp & Fritz 2010:16); although none of these is the specimen illustrated by Bell (1828: Pl. XXIII). Hence, additional syntypes may exist.
Testudo megalopus Blyth 1854:640
Holotype: ZSI 792 ( Das et al. 1998:127; not located by Kundu et al. 2018:13).
Peltastes stellatus maura Gray 1870:8
Holotype: Not located; presumably BMNH ( Gray 1873:8), apparently lost.
Peltastes stellatus seba Gray 1870:8
Holotype: BMNH 1843.2 .29.6 ( Gray 1873:8), apparently lost.
