A chromosome survey of five species of the lubentina group in the genus Euthalia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

Abstract

Male germ-line chromosomes were examined in the five species of Euthalia. Chromosome numbers were observed 2 n= 32 in E. malaccana, E. lubentina and E. djata, 2n=42, n=21 in E. adonia, and 2n=52, n=26 in E. whiteheadi. Chromosome complement consists of a dot shaped element in spermatogonium and spermatocyte
