The species had a karyotype of 2n=50, NFa=74 and NF=78. The X and Y chromosomes were submetacentrics in all specimens examined. Blocks of constitutive heterochromatin were located in the pericentromeric areas of autosomes including the X and Y chromosomes. Interstitial C- bands are also detected in the long arms of one of the largest acrocentric pairs. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were located at the telomeric regions of the short arms of three submetacentrics and two acrocentrics.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDahl's jirdG-bandingheterochromatin distributionkaryotypeNORsArticle64217918310.1080/00087114.2002.105897812-s2.0-85012431915Q3WOS:000296747100007Q4
