Bearded Toadhead Turtles are easily recognizable, despite doubts about subspecies occurrence within the
geoffroanus
complex (
Souza 2005
). This freshwater chelid turtle has a typical pair of barbels with black ends (
Fig. 4
). This species presents broad geographical distribution in South America, and lives in all main river basins and
types
of habitats, including polluted urban rivers (
Martins et al. 2010
). Of the 3 road-killed individuals, only 2 were collectable (voucher number ZUFMS-REP02716).
