I just knew the species as Ocadia sinensis for first time when everybody in the world considered in this way, and it just look too different to remaining Mauremys for me as for lumping it with Mauremys. As usual in lumpings, it looks like not so outrageous as the splittings in many taxonomic changes, but I still will use the prevalent opinion of Ocadia unless I find something that convince me to change it to the new opinion.
