Chelodina insculpta

Latest comment: 12 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Was wondering why Chelodina insculpta was added as a synonym here. That is a fossil species described by de Vis (1893). It is a valid species and correctly assigned to the Chelodina. Cheers, Faendalimas ^talk 16:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

The full line in Fritz 2007 reads "1997 Chelodina insculpta– Cann (non †Chelodina insculptade Vis, 1897), Monitor (J. Vict. Herpetol. Soc.), 9 (1): 34." Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 18:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hmmm... this makes no sense, I dont remember this and do not have Cann 97 on me to check. But if he named a species Chelodina insculpta then it is a junior homonym of Chelodina insculpta de Vis, 1897. Unless someone has moved it to Carettochelys, whereby it would be a junior homonym of that species. I would imagine this is an error of some kind.

Basal?

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This species interests me. Is it the most basal (ie primitive) of the extant reptilia? Wikipedia gives me that impression, but doesn't come out and say so.24.108.58.49 (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
