The Indian eyed turtle (''Morenia petersi'') is a species of turtle found in northeastern India (as far west as Bihar) and Bangladesh. Named after German herpetologist Wilhelm Peters (1815–1883). ==Description== ''Morenia petersi'' is very closely allied to ''Morenia ocellata''. The snout is much more pointed and relatively longer. The suture between the pectorals is not shorter than the suture between the abdominals. The carapace is black, each vertebral has a narrow yellowish mesial line. The last four vertebrals have a yellowish linear horseshoe mark with both ends directed forward. All costals have an ocellus placed rather low and formed by a narrow yellowish line, above which are some irregular looped lines of similar colour. The nuchal and each marginal have a narrow, vertical yellowish mesial streak. The plastron is yellow. There are three yellow streaks on each side of the head, the lower one extending from below the nostril to the angle of the mouth.〔Boulenger, G. A. 1890. Fauna of British India.

Type locality: Huzurapur (Jessore District), Faridpur and Dhaka, Bangladesh.
