C-heterochromatin pattern of ten species of tetrigids (Tetrigidae, Orthoptera).
The karyotypes of species belonging to the Tetrigidae is characterised by structural conservatism. The standard chromosome set of T. japonica, T. simulans, T. bolivari, P. meridionalis, U. depressus, and F. robustus consists of 2n = 13 acrocentric chromosomes in males and 2n = 14 in females, with a sex determining mechanism of X0 male and XX female. C-bands distribution often species belonging to 4 genera were studied. Differences in the position of C-bands and number of chiasma between species are discussed.
