Abstract
We report for the first time the description of the karyotype of the Dhufar toad Bufo dhufarensis from Saudi Arabia. This karyotype consists of 22 chromosomes and could be classified into two categories; eight pairs of metacentric and three pairs of submetacentric chromosomes. The 10th pair of this karyotype has a secondary constriction on the long arms of both male and female chromosomes. The fundamental number of this species is 44.
