Abstract :In this study, Ag-nucleolar organizing region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NOR); banding patterns of Myotis myotis and Miniopterus schreibersii were presented. The karyotype of Myotis myotis has a diploid number insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2n); of 44, a fundamental number insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NF); of 54, and an autosomal fundamental number insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NFa); of 50. The 2n, NF, and NFa numbers of Miniopterus schreibersii were 46, 54, and 56, respectively. In Myotis myotis, a homomorphic NOR was localized in 1 of the medium-sized acrocentric pairs; however, NORs were located in 2 pairs on the secondary constriction of Miniopterus schreibersii.
