Abstract
The autosomes can be classified roughly into three groups: five pairs of large metacentrics and submetacentrics, five pairs of medium or small metacentrics and submetacentrics, and 4 pairs of subtelocentrics. In the last group the smallest pair is more mediocentric than the others. Identification of the sex chromosomes is equivocal.
