A Study on Karyotypes of Two Species of Anoplius (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Kars Plateau, Turkey

WOS: 000271098600018In this study. karyotypes of two Pompilidae species [Anoplius viaticus (Linnaeus 1758) and Anoplius concinnus (Dahlbom 1845)] were studied. Based on metaphase studies, it was determined that Anoplius viaticus has 2n=28 chromosomes and that their karyotypes consisted of 3 metacentric. 2 submetacentric and 9 acrocentric chromosome pairs, and the fundamental number (NF) was 38. Metaphase studies of Anoplius concinnus gave the result that it had 2n=28 chromosomes. of which karyotype consisted of 2 metacentric, 4 submetacentric and 8 acrocentric chromosome pairs, and the NF was 40. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes for each species were foun
