CYTOGENETIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE TAXONOMY OF THE VOLCANO MOUSE, Neotomodon alstoni (Cricetidae, Rodentia).

Resumen

Comparisons between chromosome diploid numbers, relative lengths and G-banding patterns of populations belonging to the geographic races of Neotomodon alstoni support the postulate of the existence of one single species within the genus Neotomodon. The affinity of this genus with Peromyscus is discussed.
