Other common names:

May previously have occurred in northern Malay Peninsula (see remarks under baska).
Records from Singapore (as baska) need confirmation (Lim & Lim 1992).

|
| |
Batagur ranongensis Nutaphand 1979 |
Other common names:
baska: Common River Terrapin
ranongensis: Ranong River Terrapin
Remarks:
Records from Sumatra, southern Malay Peninsula, and Cambodia as well as of extinct populations in Vietnam refer to affinis
(Praschag, Holloway, Georges, Päckert, Hundsdörfer & Fritz 2009).
Although baska has been confirmed recently from Myanmar, it is unclear whether these and older records, including sightings,
represent affinis or baska (Platt, Platt, Thirakhupt & Rainwater 2008; Moll, Platt, Platt, Praschag & Dijk 2009).
The two species may historically have met or overlapped. Taxonomic status of old records from peninsular Thailand is also uncertain,
but may represent baska. Regarded as extinct in Thailand (Dijk & Palasuwan 2000), but indications that small numbers survive in the southernmost provinces
were presented by Kalyar, Thorbjarnarson & Thirakhupt (2007).
A museum specimen suggests that the species historically occurred in the Indus Delta of Pakistan (Praschag, Sommer, McCarthy, Gemel & Fritz 2008).
A recent record from Gujarat (Vyas 2017; Patel & Vyas 2019), India, is herein tentatively regarded as representing a relict Indus population.
Extinct in:
Pakistan,
Thailand.
Distribution:
Bangladesh,
India
(Gujarat,
Odisha,
West Bengal),
Myanmar.
