Abstract
A centric shift in the S11 chromosome of Aiolopus strepens, previously described as a pericentric inversion (Cabrero & Camacho, 1982), was analyzed by using the C-banding procedure. The location of breakage points as well as the posibilities of pericentric inversion and three-break transposition are discussed. The relationship between C-bands and NOR location as revealed by both silver staining and a double procedure Ag-NOR C-banding is also discussed.
