Pseudemys alabamensis Baur, 1893
[= Pseudemys alabamensis Baur, 1893; fide, McCoy and Vogt, 1985:371.1]
Baur, 1893a, Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. 31(141):224.
Syntypes: USNM 20966 (stuffed adult male and skull, CL 278 mm), collected by Gustave Kohn, 7 May 1885; USNM 20967 (stuffed adult female and skull, CL 290 mm), collected by Gustave Kohn, 11 May 1885.
Type Locality: “Mobile Bay, Alabama” [Baldwin County, Alabama].
Etymology: The name alabamensis refers to the state of Alabama.
Remarks: McCoy and Vogt (1985:1) mistakenly regarded USNM 20966 as the holotype of Pseudemys alabamensis, but Baur (1893a:224) clearly indicated that the description was based on two syntypes. Baur did not list these specimens by catalog number in the original description.
