Abstract excerpt
The sibling species Anopheles atroparvus and Anopheles labranchiae are cytogenetically almost indistinguishable. The chromosome complement (2n = 6) consists of two pairs of autosomes and two heteromorphic sex chromosomes with largely homologous heterochromatic long arms. Treatment of chromosome preparations with the restriction endonucleases, Alu I, Hae III, Mbo I, Hpa II, revealed species-specific differences of...
