Abstract
Karyotypes of three ichneumonid wasp species of the genus Dirophanes F oerster, D. callopus (Wesmael) (2n = 18), D. fulvitarsis (Wesmael) (n = 10, 2n = 20) and D. invisor (Thunberg) (2n = 20), were studied using chromosome C-banding. D. callopus and D. invisor were found quite sim ilar in general distribution of heterochromatine differing in this cha racter from D. fulvitarsis. Population polymorphism on heterochromatic segments has been revealed among parasitic wasps for the first time.
