We analyzed the karyological criteria of the Japanese water shrew, Chimarrogale platycephala in central Honshu. Only a few studies on the karyotype of this species for samples from Aomori Prefecture, northernmost Honshu, the Japanese Islands have been published. Our current results indicate that the chromosomal constitutions are fundamentally identical
