Genetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Eumigus punctatus, E. monticulus and E. cucullatus all have 2n♂=19 and similar chromosome morphology, all the elements being telocentric. In E. cucullatus there are C-bands in all chromosomes, but not in E. monticulus. The possible origins of these differences and their cytotaxonomic significance are discussed.
