Abstract
The karyotypes of C. castanea are of two types, one presented here and the other, similar to those of C. perspicillata (Folio 105). The major difference is the X-autosome is translocated to the X chromosome but the homolog is not translocated to the Y, the diploid number of the female becomes 20 and that of the male, 21. All autosomes of the two species appear identical.
