Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Latinization (by Ross & Macartney, 1802) of Chéloniens Brongniart, 1800, refer Dubois & Bour, 2010. The names Testudines and Chelonia have both been used for this group; Testudines (attributed to either Linnaeus, 1758 or Batsch, 1788) has been stated to have priority and is used by most current workers e.g. Ruggiero et al., 2015. Dubois & Bour, however, attribute Testinudes (as an order level name) to Wagler, 1830 and content that the correct name for the order should be Chelonii Brogniart, 1800. (It should also be noted that Chelonia, with authorship Sonnini & Latreille, 1802, is also a currently accepted name at generic level, refer e.g. https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Chelonia).
