Aubry's flapshell turtle (Cycloderma aubryi)[5] is a species of softshell turtle in the family Trionychidae. The species is endemic to Central Africa.
The specific name, aubryi, is in honor of Charles Eugène Aubry-Lecomte (1821–1879), who was a French civil servant and an amateur naturalist.[6]
C. aubryi is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, the Cabinda Province of Angola and likely in the Central African Republic.[7]
The preferred natural habitats of C. aubryi are forest and freshwater wetlands, at altitudes up to 500 m (1,600 ft).[1]
Adults of C. aubryi prey upon crabs, crayfish, and fish. Juveniles may also eat insects.[1]
In 2017, the IUCN listed C. aubryi as vulnerable.[1]
