Chromosome survey of fourteen species of Adoliadini (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

Abstract

Male-germ-line chromosomes were observed in fourteen species of the tribe Adoliadini. Euthalia nara, E. insulae, E. confucius, E. thawgawa, E. dubernardi, E. iva, E. hayashii, E. durga, E. haradai, E. franciae, Bassarona recta, B. teuta, B. dunya and Dophla evelina, in spermatogonia and spermatocytes. Chromosome numbers are as follows: E. nara 2 n= 26 , n= 13 ; E. insulae, E. confucius and Bassarona recta 2 n= 28 , n= 14 ; E. thawgawa and E. dubernardi 2n=30, n=15; E. iva and E. hayashii 2n=32, n=16; E. durga 2n=34, n=17; E. haradai 2n=36, n=18; E. franciae 2n=48, n=24. Bassarona teuta, B. dunya and Dophla evelina 2n=60, n=30.
