Chelodina insculpta
[edit]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)
- 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)
- 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. Cheers, Faendalimas talk 20:46, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Basal?
[edit]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)
