Maximum Likelihood tree for chelids, including historical type specimens using an 11,328-bp-long alignment corresponding to the 13 coding genes of the mitogenome. For historical type specimens, the original name combinations are shown in bold. Quotation marks for a GenBank sequence assigned to Emydura subglobosa (KC692462) indicate questionable taxonomic allocation. Numbers at nodes are bootstrap values and posterior probabilities for a Bayesian tree of the same topology. Asterisks indicate maximum support under both methods. Note the different placement of Chelodina steindachneri compared to Fig. 1. Snake-necked species of Chelodina in red, long-necked species in black. On the right are for Australasian taxa the currently accepted genera shown9. Inset: historical type specimen of Testudo longicollis Shaw, 1794 (photo: P. D. Campbell).
