宽胸癞颈龟属学名Myuchelys)是蛇颈龟科下的一个,该属的主要栖息东部和北部澳大利亚以及新几内亚巴布亚省。而又多分布在所分布河流的支流和源头,其学名Myuchelys的来由是土著语Myuna,意即净水。[1]该属的龟有短颈,以及完全分离出咽部的咽盾

分类学历史

1844年,该属下的贝氏癞颈龟约翰·爱德华·格雷分到了南美洲蟾头龟科下 ,[3] 直到1988年才被纠正。[4]贝林杰癞颈龟宽胸癞颈龟曼宁癞颈龟最初也都是在齿缘癞颈龟属下,后来才被测出属于不同的进化枝。[5][6]其中宽胸癞颈龟经过多次反复及斟酌才被划宽胸癞颈龟属。[7][8][9]

最早尝试将这些龟划到同一属的人也是约翰·爱德华·格雷(1867年),当时称作Euchelymys[10]但是这个学名不久之后便被乔治·亚伯特·布兰洁(1889年)定为了齿缘癞颈龟属的同义词,[11]1929年被W·A·林霍尔姆永久弃用。[12]

1897年,查理斯·沃尔特·德·维斯尝试将其分入新属Pelocomastes下,[13]但是随后便被认为这样做不正确,此学名也被定为齿缘癞颈龟属的次异名[14]

所谓的Wollumbinia罗伯特·威廉·威尔斯在2007年建立的,[15]然而其论文违反了国际动物命名法规第8、9条协议以及荐则8D,[7][16]因而被判为不合法名[7][16][17]现在的学名Myuchelys是2009年确定的。[1]

曼宁癞颈龟则在2013年被发现仍然是并系群,因此提出了一个新的单系群的属来处理此问题,所以曼宁癞颈龟被分到被描述的这一个新属Flaviemys属,成为Flaviemys属底下唯一的物种曼宁癞颈龟学名Flaviemys purvisi)。
