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 .
Taxonomy
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.[3]
Geographic range
K. steindachneri is found in peninsular Florida. Its type locality is near Orlando.[1]
Etymology
The specific name, steindachneri, is in honor of Austrian herpetologist Franz Steindachner.[4]
