  abstract = {{K}aryotypes of 18 rodent species collected in various localities in {T}hailand were analysed as part of an epidemiological survey of the region using conventional cytogenetic techniques. {T}he aim was to re-assess the reliability of karyotype-based diagnoses of {T}hai rodents using an updated taxonomic framework. {T}he species examined include {M}enetes berdmorei ({S}ciuridae), {M}us caroli, {M}us cervicolor and {M}us cookii, {H}apalomys delacouri, {C}hiropodomys gliroides, as well as several representatives of most of the lineages of the {R}attini tribe, that is {R}attus exulans, {R}attus losea, {R}attus tanezumi, {L}eopoldamys edwardsi, {L}eopoldamys neilli, {M}axomys surifer, {N}iviventer fulvescens, {B}erylmys berdmorei, {B}erylmys bowersi, {B}andicota indica and {B}andicota savilei ({M}uridae). {T}he first descriptions of {G}- and/or {C}-banding karyotypes are provided for several of these, that is, {B}. savilei, {L}. edwardsi, {M}. surifer, {B}. berdmorei, {B}. bowersi, {N}. fulvescens and {H}. delacouri. {A}lthough largely in agreement with available data, our findings on chromosome morphology differ slightly from those published for {L}. edwardsi, {M}. surifer, {B}. savilei and the two {B}erylmys species, {B}. berdmorei and {B}. bowersi. {I}n addition, we document the novel finding of {B}-chromosomes in the genera {B}erylmys, {B}andicota and the emblematic {M}us. {I}mportantly, few species-specific chromosomal characteristic could be identified within most of the genera investigated in our study and, in contrast to previous claims, the usefulness of karyotypes for diagnosing these {A}sian murid species appears to be limited.},
