A note on the karyotype of the amphibian Pelophylax bedriagae from Jordan

الملخص EN

New data are presented on the karyotype of the Levant Water Frog, Pelophylax bedriagae, from Jordan.

26 chromosomes were observed for both male and female Pelophylax bedriagae.

Seven chromosomes are metacentric (chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and six are submetacentric (chromosomes 2, 4, 10, 11, 12 and 13).

This is the first study on the karyotype of the Jordanian amphibians.
