The material studied consisted of laboratory-bred specimens of 2 species of Prostriata and 8 species of Metastriata. Jxodes ricinus and / . hexagonus (Prostriata) have XX:XY sex-determining mechanisms with diploid complements of 28 and 26 acrocentric chromosomes respectively. All the species of Metastriata studied have XX:XO sex-determining mechanisms with diploid complements of 21 and 22 chromosomes in males and females respectively.

Hyalomma spp., Dermacentor andersoni and Haemaphysalis leporis palustris each have X-chromosomes larger than any of the autosomes, whereas Rhipicephalus sanguineus and R. secundus do not have conspicuously large X-chromo-
