Abstract     
A single large illegal shipment of turtle shells weighing 897 kg and containing approximately 10,000 whole and broken turtle plastra originating from Java, Indonesia, was confiscated in Hong Kong in January 2006 (Figs. 1–2; Anonymous 2006). The shipment contained three CITES Appendix II listed species: Cuora amboinensis (Southeast Asian Box Turtle), Siebenrockiella crassicollis (Black Marsh Turtle), and Orlitia borneensis (Malaysian Giant Turtle) (Figs. 3–4). Four subspecies of Cuora amboinensis are currently recognized (Schoppe 2009), and based on the point of origin of the shipment, it was assumed that the subspecies involved was C. a. couro from Java and Sumatra. All shells were turned over by HKSAR Government’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) to Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) for taxonomic and morphometric analysis.
