Marsh Terrapin
Material: NB780 (35); photographic record (M. Finckh, site 43).
Comment: This species is widespread in southern, eastern, and western Africa ( Branch 2012; Turtle Taxonomy Working Group 2017). It has been recorded from several localities in Angola ( Marques et al. 2018), and recently from BNP ( Butler et al. 2019). Petzold et al. (2014) recorded unexpected species diversity in a molecular phylogeny of Pelomedusa and referred northern Namibian material to P. subrufa .
