Abstract
Cytogenetic studies of Hystrix duthiei (2n=28) from China, Hystrix longeari stata (2n=28) from Japan and their artificial hybrids were carried out. The F-1 hybrids showed a very high degree of bivalent pairing at the meiotic M etaphase-I. No multivalents were found. Partial fertility of the hybrids wa s observed. The results indicated that they shared two highly homologous ge nomes and were closely related.
