Scolomys melanops

Karyotype: 2n = 60 and FN = 78. Autosomal complement: one large subtelocentric pair, nine metacentric and submetacentric pairs medium to minute decreasing in size, and 19 acrocentric pairs medium to small decreasing in size. Sex chromosomes: X, a submetacentric (the largest chromosome of the complement); Y, a large subtelocentric element ( Patton & Silva 1995, pp. 331, Fig. 7B ).
