Abstract
"Two keys for the identification of the kinosternids of the United States-Mexican border region, one for adults and one for juveniles, are presented in an effort to alleviate the confusion that has long existed in attempting to distinguish among the members of the group. Taxa involved are Kinosternon flavescens flavescens, K. hirtipes murrayi, K. sonoriense, K. subrubrum hippocrepis, Sternotherus carinatus, and S. odoratus. Numerous errors from the literature that were based on the misidentification of specimens are corrected"--P. [1].
