Abstract
The karyotype of male and female Hemilepistus elongatus was investigat ed by means of C-banding. The diploid chromosome number in both sexes is 2n = 50. By scrutinizing general morphology and localization of the constitutive heterochromatin, no heteromorphic sex chromosomes were f ound. All chromosome pairs in males are well paired during diakinesis. Hybridization of genomic DNA with (GACA)(4) and (GATA)(4) oligonucleo tides revealed no sex-specific patterns.
