Karyological analysis of C- and G-banding patterns of 44 specimens of Holochilus venezuelae revealed six distinct karyomorphs, which were designated as follows: I (2n = 44; fundamental number (FN) = 56); II (2n = 45; FN = 58); IV (2n = 43; FN = 56);V(2n = 44; FN = 58); IV-a(2n = 42; FN = 56); and V-a (2n = 44; FN = 58). This chromosomal polymorphism is interpreted as the result of (i) one or two Robertsonian changes of the centric-fusion type, originating from one member of chromosome pair 10 and one of pair 11 (in karyotypes IV and V) and two metacentric chromosomes from pairs 10 and 11 (in karyotype IV-a); (ii) one pericentric inversion (in karyotype V-a) forming one submetacentric chromosome from the metacentric fusion product described above; and (iii) the presence of B chromosomes, which are almost completely heterochromatic and do not pair with any member of group A. The pattern of C-banding reveals that the first five pairs of metacentric chromosomes contain very little centromeric heterochromatin, while pair 6 and the fusion chromosomes (10/11 F) present a thick band. Extensive homology was found between G-banding patterns of Holochilus brasiliensis from Brazil and H. venezuelae. These facts support the hypothesis of a karyotypic evolution via centric fusions previously proposed for this genus.Key words: accessory chromosome, C- and G-banding, polymorphism, Holochilus venezuelae.

Resumen: Se estudiaron y compararon los cromosomas de dos especies de liebres de México. Los números diploides y fundamentales de L. insularis fueron 48 y 80, respectivamente, mientras que los de L. californicus fueron 48 and 82. Los autosomas de L. insularis fueron cuatro pares de metacéntricos, cuatro pares de submetacéntricos, nueve pares de subtelocéntricos y seis pares de telocéntricos. En contraste, L. californicus tuvo siete pares de metacéntricos, cuatro pares de submetacéntricos, siete pares de subtelocéntricos y cinco pares de telocéntricos. El cromosoma sexual X de L. insularis fue submetacéntrico de tamaño medio y el cromosoma sexual Y fue telocéntrico y pequeño. Los dos cromosomas sexuales de L.californicus fueron submetacéntricos y medianos. Se identificaron una inversión pericéntrica y dos delecciones en los cromosomas de L. californicus, las cuales explican las diferencias entre los patrones de bandas G de ambas especies. Sus diferencias en heterocromatina constitutiva fueron pocas. Estas diferencias cromosómicas pudieron haber aparecido en una población ancestral aislada de L. californicus durante el Pleistoceno y derivaron en el cariotipo actual de L. insularis. Los resultados complementan conclusiones de estudios morfológicos y morfométricos.Abstract: We evaluated and compared the chromosomes of two species of Mexican jackrabbits. The 2n and FN of L. insularis were 48 and 80, respectively, whereas those of L. californicus were 48 and 82. The autosome morphology of L. insularis is four pairs of metacentric chromosomes, four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, nine pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes and six pairs of telocentric chromosomes. In contrast, L. californicus had seven pairs of metacentric chromosomes, four pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, seven pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes, and five pairs of telocentric chromosomes. The X chromosome of L. insularis was medium-sized and submetacentric; the Y chromosome was small and telocentric, whereas both sex chromosomes of L. californicus were medium-sized and submetacentric. A pericentric inversion and two deletions in chromosomes of L. californicus were identified which explain the differences between the G-banding patterns of the two species of jackrabbits. There were few interspecific differences within the amount of constitutive heterochromatin. The chromosome variation may have arisen in the isolated ancestor of L. californicus, and produced the karyotype of the extant L. insularis during the Pleistocene. These results complement conclusions from morphological and morphometric comparisons.Key words: Chromosomes, G- bands, C- bands, jackrabbits, Lepus insularis, Lepus californicus, Baja California, México.

We have shown previously that isotope-labelled nucleotides in human metaphase chromosomes can be detected and mapped by imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), using the University of Chicago high resolution scanning ion microprobe (UC SIM). These early studies, conducted with BrdU- and 14C-thymidine-labelled chromosomes via detection of the Br and 28CN- (14C14N-> labelcarrying signals, provided some evidence for the condensation of the label into banding patterns along the chromatids (SIMS bands) reminiscent of the well known Q- and G-bands obtained by conventional staining methods for optical microscopy. The potential of this technique has been greatly enhanced by the recent upgrade of the UC SIM, now coupled to a high performance magnetic sector mass spectrometer in lieu of the previous RF quadrupole mass filter. The high transmission of the new spectrometer improves the SIMS analytical sensitivity of the microprobe better than a hundredfold, overcoming most of the previous imaging limitations resulting from low count statistics.
