Pascagoula map turtle

The Pascagoula map turtle (Graptemys gibbonsi) is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is native to the southern United States.

The Pascagoula map turtle is restricted to the Pascagoula River system in the state of Mississippi in the United States. It formerly included a population in the Pearl River, but in 2010, that population was described as a separate species, the Pearl River map turtle, Graptemys pearlensis. The Pascagoula map turtle shares its range with the yellow-blotched map turtle, G. flavimaculata.

The specific name, gibbonsi, is in honor of American herpetologist "Whit" Gibbons.
