The Maranhão slider (Trachemys adiutrix), also commonly known as the Brazilian slider[3][4] or Carvalho's slider, is a species of turtle in the familyEmydidae.
Trachemys adiutrix is endemic to northeastern Brazil. One of its English common names refers to the Brazilian state of Maranhão, but it also occurs in the Brazilian state of Piauí.
EtymologyEdit
The specific name, adiutrix, which is Latinfeminine for "helper", comes in honor of Dr. Maria do Socorro Pinheiro, field companion of Vanzolini.[4] Her surname, Socorro, means "help" in Portuguese.[5]
The eponym, Carvalho's slider, is in honor of Brazilian herpetologist Antenor Leitão de Carvalho.[3]
TaxonomyEdit
T. adiutrix is sometimes considered a subspecies of T. dorbigni as T. dorbigni adiutrix.[4]
