Karyotypes of Bembidion quadrimaculatum (L.) and Clivina fossor (L.) (Coleoptera: Carabidae).
Bembidion quadrimaculatum possesses 24 chromosomes: 2n male = 22 + XY, 2n female = 22 + XX; their structure is meta- and submetacentric and differences in length between them are slight. Achiasmatic meiosis has been identified in spermatogenesis. The diploid chromosome number in Clivina fossor is 44; 2n male = 42 + XY, 2n female = 42 + XX. The chromosome structure is meta-, submeta-, and subtelocentric and X is the longest element in the set. 1 to 2 chiasmata per bivalent occur in meiosis.
