Neacomys sp. E

Karyotype: 2n = 62 and FN = 60. Autosomal complement: 30 acrocentric pairs (one large and the remaining medium to small decreasing in size). Sex chromosomes: X, a medium acrocentric; Y, a small acrocentric. C-banding metaphases exhibited blocks of constitutive heterochromatin on the pericentromeric region of all autosomes. The X chromosome presented a pericentromeric heterochromatic block. The Y chromosome was almost entirely heterochromatic. G-banding was also performed ( Silva et al. 2019, pp. 7, Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ).

Maps of chromosomal homology were established between seven karyotypes of Neacomys species ( N. paracou (2n = 56, FN = 64); N. spinosus (2n = 64, FN = 68); Neacomys sp. (cytotype 1, 2n = 58, FN = 70; and cytotype 2, 2n = 58, FN = 64); Neacomys sp. A (2n = 58, FN = 68); Neacomys sp. B (2n = 54, FN = 66); and Neacomys sp. E (2n = 62, FN = 60)) by using whole chromosome probes of H. megacephalus . The results showed that chromosome diversity between these species were due to 17 fusion/fission events, one translocation, pericentric inversions on four syntenic blocks, and six syntenic autosomal blocks with amplification/deletion of constitutive heterochromatin ( Silva et al. 2019).

We also presented two different karyotypes for the genus, mentioned here as Neacomys sp. 1 and Neacomys sp. 2. The cytogenetic analyzes was performed for specimens collected on the Rio Japurá and Rio Içá, Amazonas state of Brazil ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ).
