DistributionS Vietnam

Type locality: southern Annam, Vietnam.  
Reproductionoviparous. 
TypesHolotype: MTD 34565 (= MTKD) 
Diagnosis 
CommentConservation: Cuora picturata may be nearing extinction because it probably has a relatively small geographic range (given that it has never been encountered in the wild by scientists) and it, like other members of the genus Cuora, is in high commercial demand. Until 2006 it was only known from markets in southern Vietnam.
