Mauremys reevesii —T.H. Ng & K.K.P. Lim, 2010: 125.

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.
