Özet

A new record of the Marbled Polecat, Vormela peregusna, is given from south-eastern Turkey along with karyological and morphological including bacular characteristics. The specimen has a shorter black band at the tip of the tail than in a specimen examined from western Turkey and thus takes an intermediate position between specimens from Jordan and from western Turkey. Whereas the diploid chromosome number is the same as in Caucasia, Syria, western Turkey and Romania, the fundamental chromosome number (FN) and the number of autosomal arms (NFa) is higher than in Western Turkey, but the same as in Syria. © Max Kasparek Verlag, Heidelberg.
