The Turtles of Venezuela is an identification guide of the Testudines families that are found in Venezuela, written by zoologist Pedro Trebbau and herpetologist Peter Pritchard.[1] It was originally published in English in 1984, by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles as the Number 2 of the series Contributions to herpetology.[2]
In 2016 was published the Spanish version by Oscar Todtmann Editores, with more than 130 pictures and illustrations, a presentation by Ph.D. Carlos Rivero Blanco and a prologue by Ph.D. Vivian Pérez.[3]
A new edition was presented in 2018 by Editorial La Fauna, in Madrid, Spain. It features a dedication to conservationist Saúl Gutiérrez Eijuri (1960-2012), and essays by Jorge Carrillo and Marcelo Sánchez-Villagra, about turtles in the Venezuelan fossil record.
