The chromosome number and karyotype morphology of Girella laevifrons (Tschudi 1846) are described for the first time. G. laevifrons presents a chromosome number of 2n = 48 and its karyotype is formed in both sexes by 24 acrocentric chromosome pairs, similar to what has been described for other species of Girella Gray, 1835.<br>El número cromosómico y la morfología del cariotipo de Girella laevifrons (Tschudi 1846) son descritos por primera vez.
