Karyotypic analyses of twenty-one species of molossid bats (Molossidae: Chiroptera)

Warner, J.W.; Patton, J.L.; Gardner, A. L.; Baker, R.J.

Abstract:

Examination of 135 specimens representing 21 species from seven genera of the family Molossidae revealed diploid numbers ranging from 34 to 48. Seventeen species from six genera have diploid numbers of 48. Geographic variation and polymorphism were found only in Eumops glaucinus. Chromosomal variation within the family is presumed to be primarily due to changes in diploid number resulting from Robertsonian translocations.
