Abstract
The karyotype with 50 chromosomes was found in the garden dormouse (El iomys quercinus) from western Bohemia, Czech Republic. The karyotype i s similar to chromosomal complements described in this species from Fr ance, Belgium, and the northern Alps. Karyotypic evolution in Eliomys quercinus is discussed in relation to postglacial dispersal of the spe cies from the Mediterranean area.
