Abstract: WOS: 000258361100001<br />We present here data on the karyotypes of seven species of rodents from Jordan. The karyotype of Acomys dimidiatus was found to be 2n= 38, NF =70; Acomys russatus russatus and A. r. lewisi 2n= 56, NF= 94; Apodemus flavicollis 2n= 48, NF=48; Apodemus mystacinus 2n= 48, NF= 52; Meriones tristrami 2n=72, NF= 76; Skeetamys calurus 2n= 38, NF= 70; Allactaga euphratica 2n= 48, NF= 96. Of these species, the karyotypes of A. flavicollis, A. mystacinus, S. calurus, and A. euphratica are here reported for the first time from Jordan.
