Abstract
The karyotype of 48 chromosomes in this species consists of one-arm chromosomes. Most have very short second arms, while a few show no evidence of second arms at all. In size, the chromosomes show a gradual gradation from largest to smallest, and hence cannot be easily divided into size groupings. Chromosomal sexual dimorphism has not been detected.
