FAMILY KINOSTERNIDAE Agassiz 1857 , 249

(2 genera, 3 species)

Kinosternon Spix 1824 , 17 (2 species)

Kinosternon albogulare (Bocourt 1870, 24 in A.H.A. Duméril et al. 1870–1909). Recent phylogenetic studies in Iverson et al. (2013) and Spinks et al. (2014) recovered a paraphyletic K. scorpioides Linnaeus (1766 [p. 352]), so I use a name that is usually placed as a subspecies of K. scorpioides for Honduran populations in anticipation of future studies. This subject is discussed in more detail in McCranie (in prep.; non-dactyloid lizards, crocodyles, turtles), who also has genetic data demonstrating the paraphyletic nature of K. scorpioides .

Kinosternon leucostomum (A.M.C. Duméril & Bibron 1851, 17 in A.M.C. Duméril & Duméril 1851)

Staurotypus Wagler 1830 , 137 (1 species). See Iverson et al. (2013) and Spinks et al. (2014) for opinions on whether or not to consider the Family Staurotypidae Gray (1869 [p. 180]) as valid for turtles of the genera Claudius Cope (1866 [p. 187]) and Staurotypus .
