Talk:Chelonia

Use of Chelonia

I removed a flag "dubious: discuss". The reference I have added gives chapter & verse of the use of Chelonia as a higher-order name for all turtles, including tortoises (see its appendix). There is nothing to discuss, because the term has been used off and on for over 200 years. Our present preference is for Testudines, but that is not the concern of a disambig page.
