Abstract
Dermatemys mawii (known as“Hicatee” in Belize) is a large (carapace length [CL] to 600 mm) freshwater turtle restricted to the Atlantic coastal lowlands of southern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and Belize (Vogt et al. 2011. Chelon. Res. Monogr. 58:1–12). Populations throughout this geographic range have been decimated by over-harvesting and consequently, D. mawii is now considered among the most endangered turtles in the world (Stanford et al. 2018. Turtles in Trouble: The World’s 25 Most Endangered Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles – 2018. Turtle Conservation Coalition, Ojai. 84 pp.)
