Pelodiscus sinensis (Wiegmann 1835:189)

Syntypes (3; Fritz et al. 1994:171): ZMB 38 View Materials and 39 (extant) and ZMB 37 View Materials (lost) ; ZMB 38 View Materials designated lectotype by Stuckas & Fritz (2011:336–37, and photographed and sampled genetically therein). The type of Testudo rostrata ( Thunberg, 1787:179) in the UPSZTY (= UUZM) 128) is not Amyda cartilaginea as usually recorded (e.g., Wermuth & Mertens, 1977:107), but rather Pelodiscus sinensis ( Webb 1985:84; see also Deraniyagala 1961). The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was petitioned (Case 2693; Webb, 1990) to suppress the earlier name and conserve Wiegmann’s name; conservation of the latter was mandated by ICZN Opinion 1659 (in 1991).
