Abstract

SUMMARYThe chromosome complements of the seven species studied are as follows:Phyllostomus hastatus (2 n=32) has 13 pairs of metacentric or submetacentric and one pair of acrocentric autosomes. The X is a submetacentric and the Y is minute. Phyllostomus discolor (2 n = 32) has all its autosomes metacentric or submetacentric. The X is submetacentric. Chrotopterus auritus (2 n = 28) has all its autosomes metacentric or submetacentric. The X is a me dium submetacentric and the Y is minute. Carolila perspicillata (2 n = 20, 21) has 9 pairs of metacentric or submetacentric autosomes, all distinguishable from each other. The X is submetacentric, the Y1 is a medium acrocentric and the Y2 is a small acrocentric. Artibeus lituratus (2 n = 30, 31) has all its autosomes metacentric or submetacentric. The X is a submetacentric, the Y1 is a acrocentric and the Y2 is a small acrocentric. Desmodus rotundus (2n=28) has all its autosomes metacentric or submetacentric. The X is a submetacentric and the Y is minute. Noctili...
