Abstract
The mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of Mus macedonicus from Israel are described. The autosomal complement of M. macedonicus (2n = NF = 40) does not differ from M. musculus and allied species. Useful cytogenetic markers for M. macedonicus include the small Y-chromosome, the enlarged centromeric block of heterochromatin (consisting of several sub-blocks) in the X-chromosomes, the relatively high number of chromosomes (6 pairs) bearing nucleolar organizing regions (NORs), and the centromere localization of NORs.
