Abstract.
We conducted a population genetic analysis of the two Amazonian tortoises, Chelonoidis denticulata (n = 40)and Chelonoidis carbonaria (n = 39) in a region of sympatry within the Xingú River basin. High levels of gene flow among sampled localities indicated lack of population structure for both species.

*Results
Population genetics analysis
A total of 40 individuals of C. denticulata from
four locations, and 39 individuals of C. carbonaria
from three locations (all except S1)
were analyzed. The 433 base pairs of the 5
end of the cytochrome b (cyt-b) sequences were
used for population level studies of the two Chelonoidis
species; this region contained a total of
47 variable positions (table 1). A total of eight
haplotypes was found in C. carbonaria samples
and five in C. denticulata samples.
