  • INV:F 29Jun2000 CKenaley. Note with specimen reads; "To Herpetology Department. From Terry Graham. Re: Pseudemys MCZ 46965. 'This specimen is not rubriventris. Both Auffenberg and I have examined the shell from many aspects. Its markings, flaring, low profile, lightness of bone and much of scute underlap all indicate it is probably a concinna or a floridana; neither he nor I are sure which. It is probably an introduction although Dr. Auffenberg indicates the possibility of a relief floridana concinna turtle in coastal areas is conceivable.' 'I remain to be convinced. Looks like rubriventris to me, but doesn't fit high-domed bangsi. That is less surprising than flor./conc., introduced or relictual. JDL 29viii85.'
