***Carteremys*** is an extinct genus of [pelomedusid](/source/Pelomedusidae) [pleurodiran](/source/Pleurodira) [turtle](/source/Turtle) from the [Maastrichtian](/source/Maastrichtian) ([Late Cretaceous](/source/Late_Cretaceous))-[Eocene](/source/Eocene), of [India](/source/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](/source/Herbert_James_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](/source/Sohan_Lal_Jain),[4] but it was transferred to the separate [genus](/source/Genus) *[Jainemys](/source/Jainemys)* in 2020 by Joyce and Bandyopadhyay.<ref name="joyce&bandyopadhyay2020"/[5]
