The Florida mud turtle (Kinosternon steindachneri) [1] is a species of turtle in the family Kinosternidae. The species is endemic to the state of Florida in the United States. This species of turtle is extremely rare compared to others. [3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Although originally described as a species, K. steindachneri was long considered a subspecies of the eastern mud turtle (K. subrubum), but a 2013 analysis found there to be no data supporting this classification, and supported its recognition as its own distinct species.[4]

Geographic range

[edit]

K. steindachneri is found in peninsular Florida. Its type locality is near Orlando.[1]

Etymology

[edit]

The specific name, steindachneri, is in honor of Austrian herpetologist Franz Steindachner.[5]
