Cuora amboinensis amboinensis (Sulawesi), (http://gi270.photobucket.com/groups/jj120/56B1SYU7C7/2-27.jpg) Cuora amboinensis kamaroma (Thailand), (http://gi270.photobucket.com/groups/jj120/56B1SYU7C7/3-31.jpg) Cuora amboinensis couro (http://gi270.photobucket.com/groups/jj120/56B1SYU7C7/4-27.jpg) Cuora amboinensis lineata 1] Cuora amboinensis amboinensis For individuals suspected to be of this subspecies: Ratio of carapace length / height: 3.08. Average ratio dimensions of plastron spots: 1.21 (almost circular) 2] Cuora amboinensis couro Darker, more oval black spots on plastron, flatter carapace. 3] Cuora amboinensis kamaroma More domed carapace and smaller, more elongated spotting of black pigments of plastron. Average ratio of carapace length / height: 2.82. Average ratio dimensions of plastron spots: 2.14 (small and elongated) 4] Cuora amboinensis lineata Light stripe along keel of carapace. Titel: Re: Verschillen/kenmerken bij Cuora ondersoorten Bericht door: schildpaddennetcrew op 25 April 2009, 17:08:21 1] The Central Vietnamese three-striped box turtle (Cuora cyclornata cyclornata)
(http://gi270.photobucket.com/groups/jj120/56B1SYU7C7/1-31.jpg) This subspecies can easily be distinguished from Cuora trifasciata and C.cyclornata meieri by its orange chin, its round carapace appearance, the Cuora mccordi/ Boletus like plastral pattern i.e. a generally large black blotch extending from the Anal scutes to the pectorals (in C.trifasciata & C.c.meieri extending to the gulars) with a thin black vertical black stripe along the pectoral-humeral suture only and two separated black longitudinal bars on the gular scutes. This subspecies can reach a carapace length of up to 25cm, males are smaller than females (as usual in Cuora species). 2] The northern Vietnamese or Meiers three-striped box turtle (Cuora cyclornata meieri) (http://gi270.photobucket.com/groups/jj120/56B1SYU7C7/2-30.jpg) This subspecies can be differentiated from the C.cyclornata cyclornata and C.trifasciata by the oval shell shape, a white to pinkish chin, rounded humeral-pectoral sutures and a filled Boletus plastral pattern. This subspecies can reach a carapace length of up to 30cm, males are smaller than females (as usual in Cuora species) The Vietnamese three-striped box turtle (Cuora cyclornata) , It can be distinguished from Cuora trifasciata by its larger size and generally more oval or rounder shell, which is usually also flatter, a white, pink or orange chin and head coloration with an orange-brownish-olive dorsal head pattern and less black pigments. Titel: Re: Verschillen/kenmerken bij Cuora ondersoorten Bericht door: schildpaddennetcrew op 25 April 2009, 17:09:27 1] The Southern Vietnamese Box turtle (Cuora picturata) This species has the highest domed carapace of all Cuora species, the shape resembling a Conquistator helmet. While the head coloration of Cuora galbinifrons subspecies is highly variable even in different populations, this is not the case with C.picturata, where the head is always yellow with a fine greyish reticulation.
