title: The karyotype of Eubothrium rugosum (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea).
abstract: The diploid chromosome set of Eubothrium rugosum contains 16 elements. The karyotype consists of three pairs of metacentric, three pairs of acrocentric and two pairs of submeta-metacentric chromosomes. Their mean absolute length ranges from 2.20 to 8.80 microns. The first two pairs of large metacentric chromosomes comprise over 45% of the total complement length.
