Malayemys is a genus of turtles in the family Geoemydidae. It was considered monotypic until 2005 It is found in several countries of Southeast Asia.

Taxonomy[edit]

The genus description is attributed to Wassili Adolfovitch Lindholm in 1931. Damonia was used by John Edward Gray in 1869, but is considered a junior homonym.^[1] It was considered monotypic until 2004.^[2] As of 2016, the genus consists of three species: Malayemys macrocephala, Malayemys subtrijuga and Malayemys khoratensis.^[3] The name Malayemys isan^[4] has been demonstrated to have not been published until after the name M. khoratensis if it was published under the code at all.^[5]^[3]

The genus consists of three species.^[1]^[5]

Distribution[edit]

Malayemys has a native distribution in Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and was introduced into Java, Indonesia.^[1]
