Abstract
Based on variation in 1094 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene among members of the genus Indotestudo from southern Asia (I. elongata), south-western India (I. travancorica), and eastern Indonesia (I. forstenii), I. travancorica is most similar genetically to I. elongata (3.7% divergence), and strongly divergent from I. forstenii (5.5 to 5.9%). Individuals of I. forstenii with and without a nuchal scute differ genetically at less than 0.7%. Our analysis offers no support for the hypothesis that Indonesian populations of I. forstenii represent introductions of I. travancorica from India. The recognition of three nominal species (I. elongata, I. forstenii and I. travancorica) in the genus is thus warranted.
