Oecomys concolor
Karyotype: 2n = 60 and FN = 62. Autosomal complement: one large subtelocentric pair, one small metacentric pair, and 27 acrocentric pairs large to small decreasing in size. Sex chromosomes: X, a large submetacentric; Y, a medium subtelocentric (
Gardner & Patton 1976
, pp. 12,
Fig. 5C
).
Baker
et al
. (1983)
also reported a diploid number of 2n = 58 and 2n = 60 for
O. concolor
, and performed the G-banding of these karyotypes. The karyotype of
O. concolor
reported by
Gardner & Patton (1976)
was very similar to that presented for
O. catherinae
. However, systematic works of the genus (
Gomes-Júnior
et al
. 2016
;
Suárez-Villota
et al
. 2017
) recognized this karyotype as belonging to
O. concolor
.
