Etymology

The specific name, pani, is probably in honor of Chinese herpetologist Pan Lei.[2]

The common name, Pan's box turtle, refers to the ability of C. pani to seal itself within its shell.[3]

Cuora pani pani, the nominotypical subspecies, is endemic to the central Chinese provinces of Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei (Blanck & Tang, 2005).[4]
