Terrapene nebulosa Bell, 1825: p. 310

Current name: Terrapene carolina (Linnaeus, 1758)

Syntype or holotype: OUM 8506 View Materials ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 20f; shell, SCL 13.3 cm, bears small label with number “92” and a historical label “TYPE of Terrapene nebulosa Bell, 1825 ”) .

Remarks: Bell (1825b) based his description of Terrapene nebulosa exclusively on material from his collection (“ Mus . Nost. ” = Museum Nostrum, p. 310). We treat OUM 8506 for the same reasons as with Terrapene maculata as syntype or holotype of Terrapene nebulosa .
