Abstract (EN): Seven polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized for golden-striped salamander, Chioglossa lusitanica (Bocage 1864), a salamandrid endemic to the northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula, from genomic libraries enriched for (GATA)(8) (GACA)(8) (ATG)(9) and (CA)(16). These loci were screened in 37-51 individuals from two populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 19. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.241 to 1.0. The high level of polymorphism revealed by these loci will be extremely useful for the study of population structure and evolutionary history of this species.
