Cytogenetics and karyosystematics of phyllotine rodents (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) I. Chromosome multiformity and gonosomal-autosomal translocation in Reithrodon

The chromosomes of 14 specimens of the genus Reithrodon from three different localities of Argentina and two localities of Uruguay were studied using G-and C-banding techniques. Specimens of Uruguay showed a karyotype of 2n=28 chromosomes having a large metacentric X, and a telocentric Y chromosome....

Specimens of Uruguay showed a karyotype of 2n=28 chromosomes having a large metacentric X, and a telocentric Y chromosome. This karyotype is very similar to that recently described in a sample from southern Brazil, differing only in the nature of the Y chromosome, which is metacentric in the Brazilian form.
