Philippen's striped turtle, "Mauremys" philippeni, has recently shown to be an intergeneric hybrid (Stuart & Parham, 2006) between a male Mauremys sinensis and a female Cuora trifasciata.

The "species" is known only from a handful of specimens (mainly the type series), said to originate from Hainan, but all acquired from a pet trader in Hong Kong.

Etymology

The specific name, phillipeni, is in honor of German herpetologist Hans-Dieter Phillipen (born 1957).[1]

gollark: He's talking about with actual Ethernet, I think.

gollark: What does the MAC address have to do with any of this?

gollark: These things mostly just use links over the existing internet, since the few people who are interested mostly don't live near each other.

gollark: It's a mesh network thing. Unlike the normal hierarchical unternet, where people have a link with their ISP, who then connects to an internet exchange or something, mesh nets can have anyone peer with anyone and the routing is automatically worked out. Yggdrasil is quite like the more popular cjdns, but with a different routing algorithm based on a tree which may be more scaleable (it doesn't always return the shortest path, but uses less memory).
