Steindachner's Snake-necked Turtle -- Chelodina steindachneri
[6]
Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Dr Franz Tiedemann of the Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien, for supplying me with the original description of Chelodina steindachneri (Siebenrock, 1914) as well as the photographs of the holotype (N.M.W. 19798). I would also like to thank Dr Gerald Kuchling of the University of Western Australia for providing me with the 1988 manuscript (see references). I thank Margaret Triffitt of the Museum of Western Australia for sending me the original description of Chelodina milly-millyensis (Glauert, 1922) and Oliver Roempp for helping me to translate the Siebenrock's original description from German to English.
