Abstract
The karyotype of the giant mole-rat, Cryptomys mechowi (Rodentia, Bathyergidae), from Zambia was investigated in one male and one female by means of G-, C-, and AgNOR-banding techniques. The diploid chromosomal set consisted of 40 biarmed chromosomes (2n = 40, NF = 80). A pair of autosomes in the male and the X chromosomes in the female were heteromorphic. The sex chromosomes were unusually large.Entities:
