Zusammenfassung:The chromosome complement of the African creek rat Desmomys harringtoni (sin. Pelomys harringtoni) is described. The diploid number is 52 and the autosomal Fundamental Number is 72. C- and G-banding patterns were studied and the Nucleolus Organizer Regions were located by silver method. The findings are discussed within the karyological context of the related genus, Pelomys.
