Chromosome analysis of Italian populations of Spinicaudata, Eoleptestheria ticinensis and Leptestheria dahalacensis (Leptestheriidae), shows 2n = 10 chromosomes, like as the other Spinicaudata, Limnadia lenticularis (Limnadiidae). Some male meiotic metaphase I with 2 univalents probably suggest a male heterogamy as evidenced in Anostraca. Haploid chromosome number of Spinicaudata appears very similar with those of well investigated Notostraca genus and comparable with those of Anostraca and Cladocera ones.

Abstract
Chromosome analysis of Italian populations of Spinicaudata, Eoleptestheria ticinensis and Leptestheria dahalacensis (Leptestheriidae), shows 2n = 10 chromosomes, like as the other Spinicaudata, Limnadia lenticularis (Limnadiidae). Some male meiotic metaphase I with 2 univalents probably suggest a male heterogamy as evidenced in Anostraca. Haploid chromosome number of Spinicaudata appears very similar with those of well investigated Notostraca genus and comparable with those of Anostraca and Cladocera ones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
