The findings of the present study would seem to establish the normal diploid chromosome number in P. m. hollesteri as 48 rather than the earlier reported number of 52 by Cross (1937-1938).The diploid number of 48 also seems more consistent and taxonomically sound in comparison with the chromosomal findings in other subspecies of P. maniculatus. A tentative karyotypic arrangement has been presented with presumptive identification of the XY sex chromosomes through meiotic and mitotic analysis.
