Abstract     
Summary. – The Seychelles subspecies of yellow-bellied mud turtle, Pelusios castanoides intergularis (Family Pelomedusidae), is restricted to six islands of the Seychelles group. Four breeding populations remain and the extant wild population was estimated at only 120 adults in 2005. Populations continue to decline due to ongoing marsh drainage and river canalization. Legal protection of wetland habitats is urgently required, and ongoing reintroductions to protected areas need to continue to secure the future of this species. Distribution. – Seychelles. Found only in the granitic Seychelles on Mahé, Cerf, Silhouette, Praslin, La Digue, and Fregate islands. Synonymy. – Pelusios castanoides intergularis Bour 1983.
