Emys blandingii Strauch 1862
Emydoidea blandingii Gray 1870

Remarks: Mentioned from New Jersey (USA) by Fowler (1906), but not included for the state by Hulse, McCoy & Censky (2001). Presence in Connecticut needs confirmation, although previously reported from the state. If these report are correct, the populations are probably extirpated, since there are no recent reports (Klemens 1993).
Extinct in: USA (Rhode Island).
Distribution: Canada (Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec), USA (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wisconsin).
