The karyogram of a bat, Rhinolophus hipposideros (Bechstein), has been defined. The karyogram shows 27 pairs of autosomes and one pair of heterochromosomes; among 27 autosomic pairs, 1 are large metacentric, 1 medium sized metacentric, 1 small metacentric, 22 acrocentric and 2 pairs are of very small chromosomes. A pair of acrocentric chromosomes shows a large achromatic region. The X chromosome is a large metacentric and the Y a very small one. A comparision has been made between the karyogram of Rhinolophus hipposideros and those of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Rhinolophus euryale.
