Diagnosis
Comment	Subspecies: T. scripta and T. dorbigni are closely related and there is still some confusion about the taxonomy of their subspecies. T. scripta is the largest emydid with a carapace length of up to 60 cm. Trachemys scripta callirostris (GRAY 1855), Trachemys scripta hiltoni (CARR 1942), and Trachemys scripta nebulosa (VAN DENBURGH 1895) have been elevated to species status (SEIDEL 2002). T. (s.) ornata is not mentioned in a recent list by OBST (2003). Trachemys scripta hartwegi (LEGLER 1990) has been moved to Trachemys gaigeae hartwegi. Parham et al. 2020 suggested to synonymize troosti with scripta, but TTWG 2021 doesn’t follow their argument, hence we also retain troosti for now. Conservation: Salzberg (1996) estimated that more than 6 million sliders were exported from the US in 1995, mostly for the pet trade. Members of the genus Trachemys belong to the most heavily traded reptile species in the US, with millions of animals exported every year (Mali et al. 2014). Distribution: Not in Venezuela (fide RIVAS et al. 2012). Not listed by COGGER 2014. Not in Panama according to Jaramillo et al. 2010. Not in Ecuador fide Torres-Carvajal et al. 2019: 299 ff). Not in Nicaragua fide Sunyer & Martínez-Fonseca 2023 (checklist Nicaragua). See Bar et al. 2021 for a map. Introductions: From 1983 to 1997 500,000 to 900,000 specimens were introduced to Spain where many escaped or were released into the wild; the species seems to have established stable populations in various parts of Spain [Malkmus 2006]. Seems to have been introduced to the Channel Island Jersey although no reproduction has been demonstrated (Tonge 1986). Has been found in Micronesia and may have been introduced there (Buden & Taboroši 2016). Numerous specimens found in Ireland but not established there (Nick Parry, pers. comm., 7 Aug 2023). Type species: Emys troosti HOLBROOK 1836 is the type species of the genus Trachemys AGASSIZ 1857: 434. Habitat: freshwater (lakes, ponds, rivers)
Etymology	Named after Latin “scripta” means written; referring to the letter-like markings on the carapace. The genus name means “rough turtle”, referring to the roughened annuli on the carapace pleural scutes.
