In South America, the order Rodentia compromises about 42% of mammal species, and from this more than 50% belong to the family Cricetidae, which includes the subfamily Sigmodontinae. The genus Hylaeamys is inserted in the tribe Oryzomyini and corresponds to one of 10 new genera proposed for species and species groups within Oryzomys. Hylaeamys is the equivalent of "megacephalus group", and consists of the species H. acritus, H. laticeps, H. megacephalus, H. perenensis, H. oniscus, H. tatei and H. yunganus, distributed in Venezuela, Trinidad, Guyana, Paraguay and Brazil, in areas of the Amazon rain forest, Atlantic rainforest and savannah. This study aims to analyze chromosomal markers in two species of the genus Hylaeamys, providing data to assist in its taxonomic and cytogenetic characterization. Nineteen samples of Hylaeamys megacephalus (HME) and four samples of Hylaeamys oniscus (HON) were analyzed. HME has 2n = 54 and HON, 2n = 52. The results obtained by G- and C-banding and Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization with whole chromosome probes from Hylaeamys megacephalus made it possible to determine the chromosomal characteristics of the species studied, as well as allowing a comparative analysis between them, and in comparison with Cerradomys langguthi, observing homeologies and karyotypic differences. The two species of Hylaeamys differ by a centric fission/fusion rearrangement in which HON shows the association of the pairs 14/19 of HME. This association is shared with CLA with an inversion (19/14/19). This work is an achievement for phylogeny and chromosomal studies on the genus Hylaeamys.porAcesso AbertoMarcadores genéticosCitogenéticaColoração cromossômicaSigmodontinaeRoedorDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::GENETICA::GENETICA ANIMALCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::BIOQUIMICA::BIOLOGIA MOLECULAR
