Abstract

The type locality of the Sicilian pond turtle Emys trinacris is here amended, and its correct name and geographicalcoordinates are provided. The locus typicus of the species lies at 1007 m a.s.l., i.e. nearly 400 m below whatpreviously thought. The updated altitudinal distribution range of the species, based on verified published localitiesonly, is between 0 and 1036 m a.s.l.
