The Central Antillean slider (Trachemys stejnegeri) is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is found on three islands in the West Indies: Hispaniola, Great Inagua, and Puerto Rico.

Etymology

The specific name, stejnegeri, is in honor of Norwegian-born American herpetologist Leonhard Stejneger.^[4]

Geographic range

T. stejnegeri is found on the islands of Puerto Rico, Great Inagua,^[5] and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti).^[2]

Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.

Trachemys stejnegeri stejnegeri (Schmidt, 1928) – Puerto Rican slider^[2]
Trachemys stejnegeri malonei (Barbour & Carr, 1938) – Inagua slider^[2]
Trachemys stejnegeri vicina (Barbour & Carr, 1940) – Dominican slider^[2]

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Trachemys.
