Abstract
Prehistoric and historic records of Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758) for the western Austrian province of Vorarlberg and adjacent regions are reviewed. Two recently captured pond turtles allowed the first analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome b haplotypes for the province. Both turtles represent lineage IV haplotypes, whereas lineage II is expected to be native. We conclude that native E. orbicularis are extinct in Vorarlberg.
