The brain cell karyotypes of six New World sand flies are described and compared. Lutzomyia trapidoi has three pairs of chromosomes, 2N = 6. The other species, L. gomezi, L. erwindonaldoi, L. carmelinoi, L. walkeri and L. columbiana, have four pairs of chromosomes, 2N = 8. No heteromorphic chromosomes were observed. Cytogenetic similarities among sand fly species are discussed.
描述并比较了六种新大陆沙蝇的脑细胞核型。特拉皮多伊卢蛉有三对染色体,2N = 6。其他物种,即戈麦斯卢蛉、埃温多纳尔多伊卢蛉、卡梅利诺伊卢蛉、沃克里卢蛉和哥伦比亚卢蛉,有四对染色体,2N = 8。未观察到异形染色体。讨论了沙蝇物种之间的细胞遗传学相似性。
