Abstract

The karyotypes of four <i>Mus oubanguii </i>and two <i>Mus minutoides/musculoides </i>were studied by Q-, G-, and C-banding, Ag-staining, and incorporation of distamycine A. The results permit some considerations about the karyotypes of these two species and suggest that the karyotypes of <i>Mus oubanguii </i>and <i>Mus minutoides/musculoides </i>have arisen from a common ancestral karyotype, the former through centric and tandem fusions first and then through pericentric inversions, the latter through centric fusions.
