Aldabrachelys^[1] isgenus ofgiant tortoises, including theAldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) native to theSeychelles, as well as two recently extinct species,Aldabrachelys abrupta andAldabrachelys grandidieri known from Madagascar. The genus name derives fromAldabra, a coral atoll in the Seychelles, plus Greek,chelys (χέλυς), for "tortoise" or "lyre", sinceHermes was the first to invent thelyre from a hollowed out tortoise shell.

Naming

[edit]

This name is problematic in that the type specimen actually representsChelonoidis denticulata;^[2] however, this was discussed and petitioned before the ICZN^[3] and accepted: the nameAldabrachelys is therefore the correct name for this genus.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Within Testudinidae,Aldabrachelys is most closely related toAstrochelys andPyxis, which are also native to Madagascar, suggesting that they share a common origin on the island. Within the genus,Aldabrachelys abrupta is more closely related toA. gigantea than it is toA. grandidieri, butA. abrupta and A. gigantea are relatively genetically divergent, suggesting that they are not synonymous as had sometimes been previously proposed, and that they diverged from each other several million years ago. The proposed subspecies ofA. gigantea show relatively little genetic differentiation from each other.^[4]
