Tribe Batagurini. Bour (1980a:158) and Hirayama (1984:147) removed the highly terrestrial species flavomarginata and galbinifrons from Cuora and placed them in the separate genus Cistoclemmys Gray (1963a:175); however, this arrangement has not been accepted by most subsequent authors (e.g., Lorenz, 1984; Ernst and Barbour, 1989; Ernst and Lovich, 1990; McCord and Iverson, 1991; Rummler and Fritz, 1991). Reviewed by McCord and Iverson (1991). A new species from northern Vietnam is being described by McCord and Iverson. |
