Abstract
We investigated the occurrence and conservation status of turtles in the Ayeyarwady, Chindwin, and Dokhtawady rivers, Myanmar, in 2000-01. The occurrence of Kachuga trivittata was documented in the Dokhtawady River, but viable populations apparently no longer remain in the lower reaches of the Ayeyarwady or Chindwin rivers that we investigated. We provide the first field report of the recently described Chitra vandijki, and distributional records for Cuora amboinensis, Heosemys grandis, Melanochelys trijuga edeniana, Morenia ocellata, Amyda cartilaginea, and Nilssonia formosa.
