摘要：Acanthochelys macrocephala is a side-necked
turtle found in south-central Bolivia, western
Brazil and northwestern Paraguay (Rhodin et al.
1984; Iverson 1992). The species is characteristic
of South American open formations (Souza 2005),
being a typical inhabitant of the Brazilian
Pantanal (Alho and Gonçalves 2005; Souza 2005;
Junk et al. 2006), Bolivian (Rumiz and Herrera
1998; Dosapey and Montaño 2004) and
Paraguayan Chaco (Buskirk 1988; Fritz and
Pauler 1992; 1999; Ziegler et al. 2002; Métrailler
2003; 2006; Vinke and Vinke 2001; 2008). It is
present in the flooded areas under the influence of
the Paraguay river basin (Rhodin et al. 1984;
Souza 2005) and possibly the swamplands along
the upper Guaporé river (Rhodin et al. 1984). It is
also found on the upper Mamoré river drainage
(Rhodin et al. 1984; Junk et al. 2006).
