[Taxacom] Podocnemididae turtles in northern S America and Madagascar

[John Grehan]

Scott, I would be interested in your take on the current status of
the Podocnemididae, if you have any opinion about that. At this moment the
most recent molecular account I have seen is Vargas-Ramírez et al 2008.
With two genera in northern South America and one in Madagascar, this group
would seem to provide a nice biogeographic parallel to that of the iguanas.
