寬胸癩頸龜屬
寬胸癩頸龜屬(學名:Myuchelys)是蛇頸龜科下的一個屬,該屬的龜主要棲息東部和北部澳大利亞以及新幾內亞的巴布亞省。而又多分佈在所分佈河流的支流和源頭,其學名Myuchelys的來由是土著語Myuna,意即淨水。[1] 該屬的龜有短頸,以及完全分離出咽部的咽盾。
分類學歷史
1844年,該屬下的貝氏癩頸龜被約翰·愛德華·格雷分到了南美洲的蟾頭龜科下 ,[3]
直到1988年才被糾正。[4] 貝林杰癩頸龜、寬胸癩頸龜和曼寧癩頸龜最初也都是在齿缘癞颈龟属下,後來才被測出屬於不同的進化枝。[5][6] 其中寬胸癩頸龜經過多次反復及斟酌才被劃寬胸癩頸龜屬。[7][8][9]
最早嘗試將這些龜劃到同一屬的人也是約翰·愛德華·格雷(1867年),當時稱作Euchelymys,[10] 但是這個學名不久之後便被喬治·亞伯特·布蘭潔(1889年)定為了齿缘癞颈龟属的同義詞,[11] 1929年被W·A·林霍爾姆永久棄用。[12]
1897年,查理斯·沃爾特·德·維斯嘗試將其分入新屬Pelocomastes下,[13] 但是隨後便被認為這樣做不正確,此學名也被定為齿缘癞颈龟属的次異名。[14]
所謂的Wollumbinia是羅伯特·威廉·威爾斯在2007年建立的,[15] 然而其論文違反了國際動物命名法規第8、9條協議以及薦則8D,[16][7] 因而被判為不合法名。 [16][7][17] 現在的學名Myuchelys是2009年確定的。[1]
曼寧癩頸龜則在2013年被發現仍然是並系群,因此提出了一個新的單系群的屬來處理此問題,所以曼寧癩頸龜被分到被描述的這一個新屬Flaviemys屬,成為Flaviemys屬底下唯一的物種曼寧癩頸龜(學名:Flaviemys purvisi)。
