Cycloderma is a genus of softshell turtles in the subfamily Cyclanorbinae of the family Trionychidae. The genus is endemic to Africa.
Species
[edit]The genus Cycloderma contains the following extant species:
- Aubry's flapshell turtle – Cycloderma aubryi (A.H.A. Duméril, 1856)[1]
- Zambezi flapshell turtle – Cycloderma frenatum W. Peters, 1854[1]
Two extinct fossil species are also known: Cycloderma victoriae Andrews, 1914, from the early Miocene of Kenya; and Cycloderma debroinae Meylan et al., 1990, from the late Miocene to the Pliocene of Kenya.[3][4]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Cycloderma.
