In order to better understand the respective geographic distributions of the 3 species of rice-field turtles (Geoemydidae: Malayemys), I would be very grateful to receive photos from all parts of the genus' range (individuals sold on food markets or kept in temple and park pools, individuals in the field, dead on road individuals, etc.). Please state clearly where and when the photos were taken, and by who, and I will contact you to ask more details about your photographs. Many thanks in advance! Best regards; Olivier

Dear Dr Oliver
I took sevaral photos of M. subtrijuga on a food market in
southern Vietnam (taken in Dec. 2009). There were around 30 individual
but all were attributed to this species.
Sincerely,
Akio
Dear Akio; Many thanks to you and our colleagues who kindly answered on RG and my e-mail address! Would you be so kind to send me some photos of these Vietnamese specimens to my e-mail ([email protected])? Many thanks! Olivier
I have a couple of turtles from various sources referable to any of the three taxa recognized today (including Malayemys isan) but I am very busy at the moment so give me a month or two and I will prepare some photos for you.
Dear Balazs; No hurry. Many thanks in advance! Cheers; Olivier
Hello Olivier! As you may already know, I have several more pictures of Malayemys macrocephala & subtrijuga from different parts of the range. Please let me know what you are interested in particular (i.e. localities, morphological features, etc.).
