متن کاملChromosomal evolution in the South American Riodinidae (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea).
We give the haploid chromosome numbers of 173 species or subspecies of Riodinidae as well as of 17 species or subspecies of neotropical Lycaenidae for comparison. The chromosome numbers of riodinids have thus far been very poorly known. We find that their range of variation extends from n = 9 to n = 110 but numbers above n = 31 are rare. While lepidopterans in general have stable chromosome num...
