Abstract     
In turtles, only eight cases of heteromorphic sex chromosomes have been reported. These include six XX/XY systems in Acanthochelys radiolata, Staurotypus salvinii and S. triporcatus, Siebenrockiella crassicollis, Chelodina longicollis, and Emydura macquarii, plus two ZZ/ZW instances in Kachuga smithii, and Pelodiscus sinensis. Most of these examples are macro-sex chromosomes with the exceptions of Chelodina longicollis , the first known case of micro-sex chromosomes in turtles and more recently, Pelodiscus sinensis.
