The Mekong snail-eating turtle (Malayemys subtrijuga) is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae. It was monotypic within the genus Malayemys until Brophy (2004, 2005)[4] reevaluated (based on morphology) Malayemys macrocephala (Gray, 1859),[5] which has been long time considered to be a synonym of M. subtrijuga.
