Abstract
In this study, the karyotype of the Chorthippus (Glyptobothrus) bornhalmi species (chromosome number, chromosome morphology and chromosome lengths) belonging to the Gomphocerinae subfamily of the Acrididae family was examined. As a result of these examinations, the species' number of chromosome was determined as 2n♂= 17 (X0). It was found that one pair of autosomal chromosome 3 (L1–L3) was submetacentric whereas five pairs (M4–S8) and X chromosome had an acrocentric structure. As a result of the counting carried out on five individuals, the mean chiasma frequency was found to be 15.36.
