Mitotic and salivary chromosomes of D. lati/shahi have been examined. A standard map of salivary chromosomes after comparing them in seven different larvae has also been prepared. Important identifiable natural landmarks in each chromosome arm are recognizable. A small basal inversion has been found in the left arm of the 3rd chromosome.
