| Additional data: |
Clemmys marmorata (BAIRD & GIRARD, 1852) is closley related to Emys orbicularis and Emydoidea blandingii (BICKHAM et al., 1996; LENK et al., 1999; FELDMAN & PARHAM, 2002). Based on this close relationship, BICKHAM et al. (1996) suggested that all three species should be placed in the genus Emys. An expanded Emys was supported by FELDMAN & PARHAM (2002). HOLMAN & FRITZ (2001) suggested that the three species should be in monotypic genera based on the fact that Clemmys marmorata has a an akinetic, rigid plastron. FRITZ (2001: 338 ff) also reported a hybrid between Clemmys insculpta and Clemmys marmorata. Note that Emys nigra HALLOWELL may be synonymous to Emys olivacea GRAY (= Trachemys stejnegeri). Does not occur in Canada according to MCCORD & JOSEPH-OUNI 2006.
