Holotype: BMNH 1946.1. 22.28 (presumably the specimen that Boulenger 1889: 84 suggested might be the holotype). Emys hieroglyphica Holbrook 1836: 47 Holotype: ANSP 217 according to Baur (1893) and Carr (1938 b, 1952), but now apparently lost (not listed in Malnate 1971). Emys mobilensis Holbrook 1838: 53 Holotype: ANSP 242 (illustrated in the original description, Pl. IX; Malnate 1971: 354). Baur (1893: 224) listed ANSP 241 as a co-type, but there is no evidence to support that claim. Emys labyrinthica Duméril & Bibron in Duméril & Duméril 1851: 13 Syntypes (4 or 5): MNHN 9179 - 81, and 9521 (Roux-Esteve 1979: 28); and also MNHN 9177 according to Bonnemains & Bour (1996: 23).

Holotype: None designated; USNM 55516 (Cochran 1961: 235; Reynolds et al. 2007: 20) designated neotype by Stejneger (1938: 175). Emys orthonyx Wied-Neuwied 1865: 23 Syntypes (number uncertain): Not located; 22 specimens originally described and three illustrated in the original description (Pl. II, Fig. 5; PL. III, Figs. 1 – 2). Pseudemys vioscana Brimley 1928: 66 Holotype: USNM 79632 (Cochran 1961: 234; formerly Brimley number 115 in the original description, where it was illustrated, Pl. 2, Fig. 2); paratypes (11, according to the original description with intent to be deposited in the USNM [original numbers 106, 107, 111 – 114, and 7807 - 11], but only 7 are currently identified and in the USNM collection; Reynolds et al. 2007: 20), USNM 79633 - 34, 166490 - 91 (formerly NCSM 3646 - 47), and 167248 - 50 (formerly NCSM 3648, 3649, and 3651) (Reynolds et al. 2007: 20). USNM 194822 is a possible paratype (Reynolds et al. 2007: 20). Cochran (1961: 235) listed only USNM 79633 - 34 as paratypes. Pseudemys elonae Brimley 1928: 67 Holotype: USNM 79631 (Cochran 1961: 234; originally Brimley number 124; illustrated in the original description, Pl. 2, Fig. 1); paratypes (3), USNM 166487 -
