Remarks.
Native to
China
and North and
South Korea
(TTWG 2021),
four specimens
of
M. reevesii
introduced from
China
were collected from Bukit Mandai on
12 May 1914
(ZRC.2.207 & ZRC.2.208) and
5 December 1914
(CAS 8616 & CAS 8617). Initially, the specimens at LKCNHM were misidentified as
Malayemys subtrijuga
(K.K.P. Lim unpub. data). Ng & Lim (2010) mentioned that individuals of
M. reevesii
are occasionally released for Vesak Day.
