C-banding was used to study the variations in heterochromatic block markings in chromosomes of Anopheles darlingi and A. nuneztovari from Manaus, State of Amazonas, and Macapá, State of Amapá, Brazil. Both species had two differently shaped X chromosomes and a Y chromosome that was entirely heterochromatic. The X1 chromosome of A. darlingi had markings that extended 1/3 of the total length whereas in the X2 chromosome the markings were located around the centromeric region. The markings on autosomal chromosomes were concentrated in the centromeric region in both species, with a heterochromatic block in one arm of chromosome II of A. darlingi. A. nuneztovari had three heterochromatic blocks in chromosome X1 (longer) and two blocks in X2 (shorter). X2X2... |

Metaphase karyotypes of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi and Anopheles (N.) nuneztovari from Manaus and Highway BR-174 (Manaus-Boa Vista), State of Amazonas, and Macapá, State of Amapá, Brazil, showed 2n = 6. They consisted of a pair of metacentric (chromosome II) and a pair of submetacentric (chromosome III) autosomes as well as sex chromosomes X and Y. In the sex chromosomes, the X was acrocentric in A. darlingi and submetacentric in A. nuneztovari. The Y chromosome was pointed in both species. The chromosomes of A. nuneztovari were larger than those of A. darlingi except for the Y chromosome. A. nuneztovari showed size polymorphism in the X chromosome. Somatic pairing and a strong constriction around the centromeric region in chromosomes II and III... |
