Emys ventricosa Gray [rejected] (ICZN 1985: Opinion 1313) |
Remarks:

Some authors still include callirostris (incl. chichiriviche) (e.g., Fritz, Stuckas, Vargas-Ramírez, Hundsdörfer, Maran & Päckert 2011).

Included for Jalisco on the basis of several authors (e.g., Smith & Taylor 1950; Zweifel 1959; Legler & Vogt 2013; Casas-Andreu, Cupul-Magaña & Chávez-Á. 2015;
Cruz-Sáenz, Muñoz-Nolasco, Mata-Silva, Johnson, García-Padilla & Wilson 2017; Rhodin Iverson Bour Fritz Georges Shaffer Dijk 2017), although
Chávez-Avila, Casas-Andreu, García-Aguayo, Cifuentes-Lemus & Cupul-Magaña (2015) condidered the presence of the species in the state as unconfirmed.
