Sternothaerus trifasciatus Bell, 1825: p. 305 , plate 14
Current name: Cuora trifasciata (Bell, 1825)
Holotype: OUM 8557 View Materials ( Bell Collection , Catalogue of Testudinata No. 22a; whole, dry specimen, SCL 11.4 cm, bears small label with number “119”).
Remarks: Since there is only one specimen of Cuora trifasciata in the Bell Collection, we conclude that the description of Sternothaerus trifasciatus was exclusively based on this specimen. OUM 8557 clearly is to be identified with the figured turtle in Bell (1825b: plate 14).
