Abstract

The turtles of Emydidae family in the northern Iran includes two species, EMYS ORBICULARIS and MAUREMYS CASPICA. In the present research, 200 specimens were collected from 25 different stations in GOLESTAN AND MAZANDARAN PROVINCES during 1999-2001 and were biologically studied in terms of morphology, parasitology, feeding, reproduction and behaviour. EMYS ORBICULARIS coloration is dark olive with yellow spots, the bridges between carapace and plastron are cartilagenous and the interabdominal suture is shorter than interanal suture. It lays about 7 eggs every year, on average. MAUREMYS CASPICA coloration is dark olive with yellow parallel stripes, the bridges between carapace and plastron are bony, the anal plate is pointed and the interabdominal suture is longer than interanal suture. It lays about 4 or 5 eggs every year, on average. Both species are carnivorous and the males are more aggresive. Turtle leech, Haementeria costata, belonging to the order Rhynchobdellida was observed in some specimens of EMYS ORBICULARIS. Comparison of TL1 and TL2 in studied samples shows that anus position is different in males and females. In EMYS ORBICULARIS, 91% of males and females and in MAUREMYS CASPICA 77.5% of them are different in measured traits.
