Treatment

FAMILY EMYDIDAE Rafinesque 1815 , 75

(1 genus, 3 species, 1 introduced species)

Trachemys Agassiz 1857 , 434 (3 species, 1 introduced species)

Trachemys grayi (Bocourt 1868, 121)

Trachemys ornata (Gray 1830, 12 in Gray 1830–1831)

Trachemys scripta (I) (Thundberg 1792, 16 in Schoepff 1792). Despite it being demonstrated several times in the recent literature that Thundberg is the correct author of this species name (i.e., the TTWG [ Rhodin et al.] 2010), Solís et al. (2014) failed to credit him.
