Abstract: Upon examination of live and preserved specimens from across the species range, several unnamed distinct forms of Trachemys venusta (Gray, 1855) were recognized, leading to the description here of three biogeographically isolated, morphologically distinct subspecies: Trachemys venusta uhrigi ssp. nov., Trachemys venusta iversoni ssp. nov., and Trachemys venusta panamensis ssp. nov. Head and neck stripes, along with carapacial and plastral patterns are critical to identification in this group. Formal descriptions and diagnoses are given herein. Other Central American Trachemys are also discussed for comparison.
