The black-bellied wood turtle also rivals the sub-wood turtle. The plastron can be up to 29cm long. Scattered in eastern Panama, northern and western Colombia, and northwest Ecuador. At first glance, the stripes on its head are somewhat similar to those of the Anbu Guan shell turtle.

The plastron is black. The hands and feet are yellow with black stripes. The stripes above the eyes are light yellow or light yellow-green for those along the Pacific coast, red for those along the local water system, and orange in between.

There are no webs between the toes, the upper jaw is not hook-shaped and there are several stripes on the head. Among the species of wood turtle, it has the most distinctive color, with its face full of small red lines, and its hands, feet, thighs, plastron and tail all have red and black markings. The head is small and the edges of the jaws are slightly jagged. The tortoise shell is mainly light brown with yellow and red markings.

The male has a concave plastron and a long and thick tail, and the anus is far away from the plastron. Females have a flat plastron and a short tail.
