Abstract
Cytological studies on Rubenstrema exasperatum were carried out. The n umber of chromosomes in diploid cells (2n=16), and the morphological c haracteristics of the karyotype were determined. All the chromosomes ( from Nos 2 to 8) had a well-defined short arm and, in accordance with the I-c values, were determined to be meta-submetacentric. Polymorphis m was established in the length of the 2 homologues of the 1st chromos ome. This pair is probably Linked with sex determination. Copyright (C ) 1996 Australian Society for Parasitology.
