DistributionUSA (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, in the Gulf coastal streams of the Apalachicola River system in the Florida Panhandle, including the Chipola; adjacent Georgia)

Type locality: Chipola River bei Marianna, Jackson County, Florida.  
Reproductionoviparous. Exhibits temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) fide Cornejo-Páramo et al. 2020 (and references therein). 
TypesHolotype: MCZ R-46251 
DiagnosisDiagnosis. A large Graptemys with prominent vertebral tubercles; apparently most closely allied to G. kohnii of Louisiana, but distinguished from all members of the genus by the excessively enlarged heads and expanded alveolar pavement of jaws of the females and by the nature of the markings of carapace and plastron, sexual dimorphism is more marked than in any other Graptemys known to us. (Carr and Marchand, 1942)
