Nilssonia is agenus ofsoftshell turtles (family Trionychidae) from rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes inSouth Asia and Burma. In many treatments, it ismonotypic, with the single speciesBurmese peacock softshell (N. formosa). However, the supposed other genus ofpeacock softshells,Aspideretes, is more closely related toN. formosa than had been believed. They differ only in the neural plates between the firstpleural scale pair of the bonycarapace, which are fused into one inN. formosa and unfused in the others.[5]

Thus, it has been proposed to unite the two genera under the older name,Nilssonia. As it seems, the closest living relatives of the Burmese peacock softshell are theIndian softshell turtle (A./N. gangeticus) and theLeith's softshell turtle (A./N. leithii), making the merging of the genera well warranted.[5][2]

Etymology

[edit]

Thegeneric name,Nilssonia, is in honor of Swedish zoologistSven Nilsson.[6]
