| Abstract |
|
Molecular studies have resolved many questions in terms of the relationships between the world’s living Turtles, Terrapins and Tortoises, collectively grouped within the order Testudines. However the taxonomy has not necessarily been updated accordingly. This paper presents a revised and updated taxonomy and nomenclature for the Alligator Snapping Turtles (genus Macrochelys Gray, 1856) of North America. Formally named are one (1) new tribe, one (1) new species and one (1) new subspecies, according to the Zoological Code (Ride et al. 1999). Keywords: Taxonomy; Testudines; Nomenclature; Zoological Code; new tribe; Macrochelyiini; new species; Macrochelys; maxhoseri; new subspecies; muscati.
