Summary
A cytological map of Drosophila hydei Sturtevant, one of the species of the repleta group, is presented together with some cytological observervations, including the description of three X-ray-induced rearrangements.
This map of D. hydei is compared with the existing map of D. repleta Wollaston. In addition to the large standard rearrangements, a number of small differences are indicated.
On the basis of rearrangements, two of the linkage groups are attributed to definite chromosomes.
