Abstract The Chinese big-headed turtle (Platysternon megacephalum) is listed as an endangered species in CITES II and IUCN list EN. Understanding the genetic structure of the wild population is an important part of future conservation and management. In this paper, we report 14 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in P. megacephalum. And all the loci were evaluated with a population of twenty-one individuals collected from Guangdong provincial wildlife rescue center in Guangzhou. All loci were polymorphic with three to eleven alleles. After Bonferroni correction, five loci significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and one pair of loci showed significant linkage disequilibrium. These microsatellite loci will be useful in population genetics and conservation of the wild Chinese big-headed turtle population.
