Chelodina longicollis (Shaw 1794:19)

Holotype: Not designated; BMNH 1947.3.5.86 presumed to be the holotype by Cogger et al. (1983:61) since it was the specimen Shaw (1802:62) used to redescribe the species; photographed in Cann (1998:53) and Cann & Sadlier (2017:18). Presumed holotype sampled genetically by Kehlmaier et al. (2019).

Chelodina novaehollandiae Duméril & Bibron 1835:443

Syntypes (2): MNHN 6969 and 9405 (according to Roux-Esteve 1979:29). MNHN 6969 erroneously recorded as holotype by Cogger et al. (1983:61) and Georges & Thomson (2010:15). According to Bour (in Cann 1998:55) and Cann & Sadlier (2017:18), this is a substitute name for C. longicollis and therefore the holotype is BMNH 1947.3.5.86, and the MNHN specimens are not types.
