Chersina angulata ( Schweigger 1812:321)
Syntypes (2): Not designated, although in MNHN according to original description (see also Ceríaco & Bour 2012:19); a stuffed specimen received from the MNHN (SMF 7857) is not the specimen measured in Schweigger (1812), but could be a syntype according to C. Crumly (pers. comm. to John Iverson; see also King & Burke, 1989:71); MNHN 4087 is the syntype measured by Schweigger (1812:360), according to Bour (2008b:30), who designated it as the lectotype (and photographed it), since the second syntype is lost. M. Hofmeyr took a tissue sample of 4087 ( Bour 2008b:32) for a genetic study in progress.
Holotype: BMNH 2005.1631 (specimen c in Boulenger 1889:179; Bour 2008b:29, who mistakenly listed the type as 2005.1641).
Chersina angulata pallida Gray 1831:69
