Salivary gland chromosome map of Anopheles aconitus Donitz (Diptera:Culicidae)

A standard map for the salivary gland chromosome banding pattern of Anopheles (Cellia) aconitus has been compiled. The banding arrangement of the species has been compared with that in another member of the Myzomyia group, Anopheles fluviatilis. Whereas the homologies of the X-chromosomes have the least correspondence, the 2R and 2L chromosomes have been found to have the closest correspondence of bands in the two species.
