ABSTRACT
A description of the karyotype of six specimens of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) from the Sowie Mountains is given. All animals had got diploid number of chromosomes 2n = 46. Among small autosomes were 13 pairs of bi-armed chromosomes (meta- and submetacentrics) and 4 pairs of telocentrics. The number and morphology of chromosomes show that all studied animals represent Microtus arvalis species - form ,,arvalis” .
Key words: Microtus arvalis, Microtus rossiaemeridionalis, sibling species, chromosomal forms, karyotype.
