Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies.

Trachemys stejnegeri stejnegeri (Schmidt, 1928) – Puerto Rican slider^[2]
Trachemys stejnegeri malonei (Barbour & Carr, 1938) – Inagua slider^[2]
Trachemys stejnegeri vicina (Barbour & Carr, 1940) – Dominican slider^[2]
