Abstract

Cytogenetic observations were carried out on Anopheles dirus. Analysis of meiotic and mitotic chromosomes showed 2n=6. Meiotic and mitotic polyploid chromosomes were found in one individual. A polytene chromosomes map has been prepared from the salivary gland cells. No naturally occurring aberrations were observed in the polytene chromosomes in the laboratory strain of Dirus. External morphological features were used for identification.
