Testudo hermanni Gmelin, 1789:1041 View in CoL

Reported by Luiselli et al. (2012) from Libya, but without specific data. Although introduced individuals may exist, there are no documented records of this species outside of southern Europe and its associated islands (Sindaco and Jeremčenko 2008).

Testudo marginata Schoepff, 1793:58 View in CoL , pl. XI, pl. XII, fig. 1. [German edition]/Schoepff, 1793:52, pl. XI, pl. XII, fig. 1.

Reported by Luiselli et al. (2012) from Libya, but without specific data. Peters (1880, 1881) reported T. campanulata View in CoL [= T. marginata View in CoL ] from Bir-Milrha. However, Schneider and Schneider (2008) argued that the likely species intended was T. kleinmanni View in CoL , based on the similarity of plastron pattern between adult T. kleinmanni View in CoL and juvenile T. marginata View in CoL .
