摘要: Three different diploid chromosome numbers (2n = 54, 56 and 58) have been reported in the lesser horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus hipposideros. Asia Minor Middle East are inhabited by R. hipposideros specimens with 58 chromosomes. In Europe, chromosomes recorded from several localities Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy Greece. Up to now, 54 only Spain possibly Switzerland. With record of Germany presented here, distributional area this variant is expanded into Central Europe. According cytogenetic data presently available, we presume that European population divided a western form (from Germany) 2n karyotype an eastern Republic Greece) karyotype. This study presents banded karyotypes for variants first time. addition, chromosomal arm homology vespertilionid bat species Myotis myotis revealed painting reported. Whether could represent separate also discussed.
