The Central Antillean slider (Trachemys stejnegeri) is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is found on three islands in the West Indies: Hispaniola, Great Inagua, and Puerto Rico.

Etymology

The specific name, stejnegeri, is in honor of Norwegian-born American herpetologist Leonhard Stejneger.

Geographic range

T. stejnegeri is found on the islands of Puerto Rico, Great Inagua, and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti).

Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.

Trachemys stejnegeri stejnegeri (Schmidt, 1928) – Puerto Rican slider
Trachemys stejnegeri malonei (Barbour & Carr, 1938) – Inagua slider
Trachemys stejnegeri vicina (Barbour & Carr, 1940) – Dominican slider

Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Trachemys.
