Abstract
Different morphological types of B-chromosomes in Rhinocola aceris from Kat owice (southern Poland) were found for the first time in Psylloidea. Four t ypes of supernumerary chromosomes: B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4 were described on the basis of their morphology and heterochromatin pattern. Their behaviour during meiosis suggests a high tolerance of this species for different num bers of B-chromosomes.
