Neacomys sp. 1

Karyotype: 2n = 48 and FN = 54. Autosomal complement: four small metacentric and submetacentric pairs, and 19 acrocentric pairs (one large and the remaining medium to small decreasing in size). Sex chromosomes: X, a medium subtelocentric; Y, a small acrocentric ( Fig. 9A View FIGURE 9 ). C-banding metaphases exhibited blocks of constitutive heterochromatin on the pericentromeric region of all autosomes. The X chromosome presented the short arm entirely heterochromatic. The Y chromosome was almost entirely heterochromatic ( Fig. 9B View FIGURE 9 ). G-banding was performed to allow the correct identification of all homologous pairs ( Fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). FISH with telomeric sequences revealed signals exclusively at the ends of all chromosome arms and no interstitial signals were observed ( Fig. 9D View FIGURE 9 ). This karyotype seems to be the same reported by Sánchez-Vendizú et al. (2018) for N. rosalindae . However, these authors appar-ently misclassified two small metacentric pairs as acrocentric. Also, the X chromosome seems to present two different morphologies, a medium submetacentric or subtelocentric. A morphological and molecular analyses of the specimens referred as Neacomys sp. 1 is necessary to test this hypothesis.
