Keywords:
Coleoptera, Bruchidae, Scutobruchus cassiovorus, Merobruchus bicoloripes, karyotype, chromosome analysisAbstract
Meiotic chromosomes of 20 males ot Scutobruchus cassiovorus and 20 males of Merobruchus bicoloripes were investigated in order to determine their chromosomal constitution. The karyotypes found were: 2n = 18, n = 8Xyp for Scutobruchus cessiovorus and 2n = 24, n = 11Xyp, for Merobruchus bicoloripes. The numerical and structural differences between them and other species of Bruchinae are analyzed.
