(The variability of Cuora trifasciata sensu lato is analyzed. The data clearly indicate that geographic isolation has resulted in distinct populations within this species, leading to the description here of the genetically and morphologically distinct species Cuora cyclornata, sp. nov., found from south-central Vietnam to western Guangxi Province, China and its subspecies Cuora cyclornata meieri, ssp. nov. restricted to northern Vietnam and western Guangxi Province, China. The holotype of Cuora trifasciata sensu stricto is herein identified, redescribed and genetically assigned to its locality of origin. Other genetically and morphologically distinct forms are discussed but for lack of sufficient data are not taxonomically described here. An overview of the literature, distribution, habitat and vulnerability of Cuora trifasciata and Cuora cyclornata are given. Frankfurt Contributions to Natural History, Volume 31).

1st edn. 4to pp. 624. Grey cloth with gilt titles, b/w portrait frontispiece, 30 colour plates, 162 text figs (many composite, including 13 colour photographs, more than 450 b/w photographs and illustrations), 1 map, keys, tables. New book. (Bourret's final volume on the Herpetology of French Indochina, following his earlier contributions covering the snakes (1936), turtles (1941) and amphibians (1942). Although the manuscript for his monograph on the lizards was completed in 1947 it was never published. The original text is published in the present volume, together with the following bilingual (English/French) contributions: 'René Léon Bourret and the herpetology of Indochina' by Kraig Adler; 'Les Lézards de l'Indochine (1937-1947) by René Léon Bourret. An introduction' by Roger Bour; 'The Lizards of the former French Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). An updated reappraisal' by Patrick David & Ivan Ineich; 'The life and work of René Bourret (1884-1957)' (including his publications) by Roger Bour & Charles P. Blanc. Also included in facsimile are all of the pages relating to the lizards, published in the 'Notes herpétologiques sur l'Indochine française (1937-1944)'. ''With publication of Bourret's book on Indochinese lizards, after lying dormant in manuscript for more than 60 years, his herpetological publications on the region are complete. He can now be fully recognized, together with Dr. Malcolm Smith, among the great authorities of Indochinese herpetology, and with this first full-length biography of Bourret, whose life was previously hidden in obscurity, we can appreciate the actual depth and scope of his work. René Léon Bourret can be properly honored as one of the truly great herpetologists of the 20th century." (Prof. Kraig Adler).
