The abdominal and the pelvic arterial supply of the degu, Octodon degus, were described in 19 specimens (10 males and 9 females) from a laboratory strain. Animals were injected through the left ventricle of the heart with coloured latex solution and subsequently dissected under a surgical microscope. The arrangement and variations of the visceral and muscular arteries were described. Comparative analysis among rodents revealed that, even though there was a wide range of interspecific variation in the characters considered, there were several constant anatomical features with phylogenetic value. In this sense, results on the degu and the guinea pig, Cavia porcellus, showed that these hystricognaths share particular features that differentiate them from the sciurognaths analysed to date. The distinguishing characteristics between these two groups of rodents were found in the arrangement of the coeliacomesenteric trunk, and in the cranial abdominal, right gastric, caudal mesenteric, and deep circumflex iliac arteries. The phylogenetic meaning of particular angiological features in rodents were commented.
