چکیده
The male karyotypes of 5 buprestid species belonging to 4 genera, 4 tribes and 3 subfamilies – Polycestinae, Chrysochroinae, Buprestinae from Armenia are described. In Acmaeodera flavolineata Laporte et Gory, 1835, Sphenoptera tamarisci beckeri Dohrn, 1866, Anthaxia olympica Kiesenwetter, 1880, A. amasina Daniel, 1903 and Chrysobothris affinis tetragramma Ménétriés, 1832 diploid chromosome numbers range between 16 and 30. Three variants of autosomal chromosome numbers (14, 18 and 28) and two types of sex chromosome systems (Xyp and neo-XY) were revealed. The available karyological data on the subfamilies Polycestinae, Chrysochroinae and Buprestinae are discussed.

متن کاملPartial faunistic study of beetles (Arthropoda: Coleoptera) in Taleqan region (Iran) and their mite associates
The faunistic investigation of beetles has been of a great importance in Iran due to the impresive diversity of species, which is highly promoted by the climatic variation of the Country. Therefore, detection of the ingenious regions, such as Taleqan, is important. In this study, mite-related beetles which were sampled from different areas of Taleqan were investigated and 14 species belonging t...
