The Chinese Soft Shelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis), formerly known as Trionyx sinensis, was described by Wiegmann in 1835.
There is a subspecies japonicus which is sometimes erroneously listed as Pelodiscus japonica.
In Russia the Far-Eastern turtle (Trionyx sinensis) inhabits the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Regions and is protected by the State.
