The reproductive system of male Phrynops geoffroanus adults ismacroscopically described and the variation in testicular biometry is evaluated. A pair of oval testes is connected by the efferent ductules to the epididymis, which continue as deferent ducts, which emerge in the penis. The volume of the gonads showed the highestaverages during spring and summer months. GSI varied significantly throughout the year, with the highest averages observed in the months that correspond to the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the reproduction of the species takes place, and the lowest averages were seen in winter, suggesting a cyclical testicular activity.O sistema reprodutor de machos adultos de Phrynops geoffroanus édescrito macroscopicamente e a variação da biometria testicular é avaliada. Um par de testículos ovais está conectado pelos dúctulos eferentes aos epidídimos, que se continuam como ductos deferentes, e que por sua vez desembocam no pênis. O volume das gônadas apresentou as maiores médias durante os meses de primavera e verão. O IGS variousignificativamente ao longo do ano, com maiores médias observadas nos meses que correspondem ao final da primavera e início do verão, quando ocorre a reprodução da espécie, e as menores médias durante o inverno, sugerindo uma atividade testicular cíclica.
