Carteremys is an extinct genus of pelomedusid pleurodiran turtle from the Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous)-Eocene, of India^[1] based on the type species C. leithi, which was named in 1953 by E. Williams^[2] and was originally placed in the genera Hydraspis by H. J. Carter in 1852 and Testudo, also by H. J. Carter, in 1871.^[3] A second species, C. pisdurensis, was named in 1977 by Sohan Lal Jain,^[4] but it was transferred to the separate genus Jainemys in 2020 by Joyce and Bandyopadhyay.^[5]
