Abstract
A cytogenetic study of 34 specimens of the scrub mouse Akodon molinae from nine localities in La Pampa and San Luis provinces of central Arg entina revealed 2n = 43 in 18 specimens, 2n = 44 in eight and 2n = 42 in eight individuals. This variation results from a Robertsonian polym orphism involving chromosome pair 1. Information on the distribution a nd biogeography of Akodon molinae is provided for central Argentina.
