This list was compiled by Society co-leader Peter Kacalanos by researching dozens of technical books about turtles and tortoises. The list includes every chelonian species and subspecies known to science, listed alphabetically under its scientific name. Because deeper studies are always taking place, imprecise names are regularly corrected by taxonomists. Occasionally some chelonians can be known by more than one name until the herpetological community settles on one correct name for each species.

The scientific names of animals and plants are based on Latin and Greek roots, and are always written in italic type. Peter has added in parentheses the name of the larger family group to which each turtle or tortoise belongs. This is followed in turn by all the common names used by the non-scientific community to describe each chelonian. To find the scientific name of a species when you know only its common name, refer to a different entry on the Message Board, Common names of turtles and tortoises.

This list includes the scientific names of 560 species and subspecies. It had to be divided into six sections because of Meetup.com's size limitation for each section. The list continues alphabetically in the sections that follow.
