Iberoccitanemys

Iberoccitanemys (meaning "Iberoccitanian turtle") is an extinct genus of turtle from the Bothremydidae[1] that is known from the Marnes d'Auzas Formation in France, and also the Sobrepena Formation and Villalba de la Sierra Formation in Spain.

Two species are known: I. convenarum (the type) and I. atlanticum, which were both referred to other genera[2][3] before being moved to Iberoccitanemys; the genus was named by Perez-Garcia, Ortega & Murelaga (2012).

[2] It was moved to Iberoccitanemys when the genus was named in 2012[1] and is based on the holotype, MDEt Cas2-259, a nearly complete shell from the Marnes d'Auzas Formation in France.

[3] P. atlanticum was redescribed as a species of Iberoccitanemys by Perez-Garcia, Ortega & Murelaga (2021).

[4] The holotype is MCNA 6316, from the Sobrepena Formation in Spain.
