Summary. – Pelusios adansonii (Family Pelomedusidae), is a moderate-sized freshwater turtle of up to 238 mm carapace length, identified by its keeled carapace with tawny and ornate radiating dark brown spots and dashes, and by the long forelobe of the yellow plastron. The species occurs in sub-Saharan Africa in the Sahelo-Sudanese belt and, at present, does not appear to be under any major threat. Distribution. – Benin (probably), Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan. Occurs in three largely disjunct populations in sub-Saharan Africa along the relatively arid Sahelo-Sudanese belt from Senegal to Sudan. Synonymy. – Emys adansonii Schweigger 1812, Hydraspis adansonii, Pelomedusa adansonii, Sternotherus adansonii, Sternothaerus adansonii, Pentonyx adansonii, Pelusios adansonii, Pelusios adansonii adansonii. Subspecies. – None currently recognized. Some authorities in the past recognized two subspecies, including Pelusios adansonii nanus Laurent 1956, but that taxon is now considered a distinct species, Pelusios nanus.
