提示：本条目的主题不是伪龟属（Pseudemys）。 彩龟属（学名：Trachemys）又名滑龟属，属泽龟科鸡龟亚科，是一类常见于美洲的水陆两栖龟类，模式种为彩龟（T. scripta）。国际上常见的贸易宠物红耳彩龟（T. scripta elegans）即属于本属。 分类 在1990年代以前，本属与近缘类群伪龟属（Pseudemys）及锦龟属（Chrysemys）的分类关系一直多变，曾因三者的形态极度相似而被合并为一属。尽管这三个属的形态与习性相似，生活区域重叠，求偶模式也相同，但分类学者观察到，在野外分布重叠的区域，这三属之间却从不杂交，后来的遗传分子学也支持这三个类群都可各自成为有效的单系群，三个属也基本确定有效[1]。目前本属受承认的15个物种如下 [2]： 亚马逊彩龟 Trachemys adiutrix 丽吻彩龟 Trachemys callirostris 海地彩龟 Trachemys decorata 古巴彩龟 Trachemys decussata 南美彩龟 Trachemys dorbigni 尼加拉瓜彩龟 Trachemys emolli 大本德彩龟 Trachemys gaigeae 云斑彩龟 Trachemys nebulosa 锦彩龟 Trachemys ornata 彩龟 Trachemys scripta 安第列斯彩龟 Trachemys stejnegeri 泰勒彩龟 Trachemys taylori 牙买加彩龟 Trachemys terrapen 中美彩龟 Trachemys venusta 亚基彩龟 Trachemys yaquia 参考文献 ^ Trachemys.
