Taxonomy: Two subspecies of
Kinosternon subrubrum are recognized:
K. s. hippocrepis (Mississipppi Mud
Turtle) and K. s. subrubrum
(Eastern Mud Turtle) (Iverson et al. 2017).
Populations in Tennessee belong to the subspecies
K. s. subrubrum, except in a narrow geographic corridor along the
Mississippi River where K. s. subrubrum
and K. s. hippocrepis may intergrade
(Conant and Collins 1998).
Distribution: Scattered records exist
from Hamilton and Rhea counties westward to the Mississippi River.
Current knowledge indicates the species may be absent in the upper Tennessee River drainage.
