  abstract = {{T}he origin of the turtle fauna of {M}alesia is analysed here through a review of the literature, a re-evaluation of previously described material, and the description of new material. {V}ery few data are available prior to the {Q}uaternary. {W}hile the {E}arly {P}leistocene record is largely dominated by reports of giant tortoises, the {M}iddle {P}leistocene record provides reports of the first occurrences of most extant taxa living in the area. {M}ost, if not all, of the faunas have stronger relationships with {I}ndochinese than with {E}ast {A}sian taxa, suggesting that colonisation largely followed the {S}iva- or {S}ino-{M}alayan routes, allowing turtles to invade the {S}unda {S}helf and disperse further east during periods of low sea -level. {O}n the other hand, there is nearly no fossil data to understand the origin of the six endemic {M}alesian species, but molecular studies suggest that most of these taxa may have evolved in {M}alesia well before the {Q}uaternary dispersal of the {I}ndochinese fauna. {I}n addition to clarify several fossil identifications, we provide evidence that the box turtle of the " {C}uora amboinensis " species complex arrived in the {P}hilippines before the early {M}iddle {P}leistocene. {W}e also confirm that {D}uboisemys isoclina is an endemic extinct genus and we discuss its relationship to continental and endemic turtles.},
