title: A photomap of the salivary gland chromosomes of Anopheles stephensi liston (Culicidae: Diptera).
abstract: A photomap of the banding pattern of the salivary gland chromosomes of Anopheles stephensi Liston, which is first of its kind, has been prepared. The salivary chromosome complement consists of five arms, the shortest of which represents the telocentric X-chromosome, and the remaining four the autosomal arms. A comparison has been made of the banding pattern of this species with other species of the subgenus Cellia.
