Oligoryzomys destructor
Karyotype: 2n = 60 and FN = 76. Autosomal complement: nine metacentric and submetacentric pairs (two large and seven medium to small), and 20 acrocentric pairs (one large and the remaining small). Sex chromosomes: X, a large submetacentric; Y, a medium metacentric (
Gardner & Patton 1976
, pp. 8,
Fig. 3D
). This karyotype was referred as belonging to
O. destructor
by
Weksler & Bonvicino (2015b)
. However, according to
Hurtado & D’Elía (2019b)
, the authors taken these values arbitrary from
Gardner & Patton (1976)
, whom described at least three karyotypes for specimens from localities in the current known distribution of
O. destructor
. Consequently, such specimens should be revised in order to confirm the karyotype of this species (
Hurtado & D’Elía 2019b
).
