Abstract

Preliminary results of karyological analysis of the Israeli garden dormouse are reported. The chromosomes of Eliomys melanurus from the northern Negev Desert are described. The karyotype shows a diploid number of 2n = 48 (aFN= 86). These results reinforce the discordance between morphotypes and karyotypes observed in the genus Eliomys, showing the occurrence of different chromosome numbers also in the melanurus‐group of subspecies.
