Emys tectum Gray, 1830 : plate 72

Current name: Pangshura tecta ( Gray, 1830)

Syntypes (2 specimens): OUM 8430 ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 41a; whole, dry specimen, SCL 9.8 cm) ; OUM 8431 ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 41b; whole, stuffed specimen, SCL 8.0 cm) .

Remarks: Gray (1831a: p. 23) is explicit that he has seen this species in Bell’s collection, which is why we treat the two specimens as syntypes. Bell (1832–1836) explains that he possessed six or eight dried specimens and two living ones, some of which may exist until today in other collections.
