''Elseya uberrima'' is an Eocene species of extinct Australian snapping turtle. ==Taxonomy== During his time at the Queensland Museum, Charles Walter De Vis described a number of fossil turtles from the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia.〔Thomson SA. 2000. A Revision of the Fossil Chelid Turtles (Pleurodira) Described by C.W. De Vis, 1897. ''Memoirs of the Queensland Museum'' 45 (2): 593-598. (Brisbane).〕 All four species described were declared a single diagnosable species by Thomson, 2000.〔 To avoid confusion the synonymy for the species is as follows: *''Elseya uberrima'' (De Vis, 1897〔De Vis CW. 1897. The extinct freshwater turtles of Queensland. ''Annals of the Queensland Museum'' 3: 3-7.〕) * *''Chelymys uberrima'' De Vis, 1897: 3〔 * *''Chelymys antiqua'' De Vis 1897: 4〔 * *''Chelymys arata'' De Vis 1897: 5〔 * *''Pelocomastes ampla'' De Vis 1897: 6-7〔 This synonymy has made the genus name ''Pelocomastes'' a junior synonym of ''Elseya'' and in their recent revision of that genus Thomson et al. (2015)〔Thomson, S., Amepou, Y., Anamiato, J. & Georges, A. 2015. A new species and subgenus of ''Elseya'' (Testudines: Pleurodira: Chelidae) from New Guinea. ''Zootaxa'' 4006(1):59-82. (Preview (PDF) )〕 resurrected ''Pelocomastes'' as a subgenus to represent the Queensland clade of the ''Elseya''. Therefore, ''Elseya'' (''Pelocomastes'') ''uberrima'' is the type species for this subgenus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elseya uberrima」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
