Acanthochelys spixii (Duméril & Bibron 1835:409)

Holotype: Not MNHN 8751 as intended by Duméril & Bibron,because Platemysspixii wasareplacement name for Emys depressa (see separate account); hence, records of MNHN 8751 as the type (e.g., Ernst 1983:1) are in error. ZSM 3003/0 (Franzen & Glaw 2007:205) designated lectotype for Emys depressa by Hoogmoed & Gruber (1983:345), which also makes it the type of spixii (Rhodin et al. 1984: Iverson 1992:9).
