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).
