Resumen

Peromyscus grandis is a rodent whose distribution is restricted to the mountain ranges of central Guatemala. This note represents the first report of karyotypic data for this species. The karyotype (fundamental number = 58) closely resembles karyotypes of other species ofPeromyscus.Key words: chromosomes, Cricetidae, endemic, karyogram, Peromyscus mexicanus group.
