Ephippithyta kuranda ( Fig. 21 )

2n=21 (20t +Xt)

Specimens examined: 2004-16, 2007-4, and -12

The dipoloid chromosome number of the species presents one pair of large, 9 pairs of medium to small telocentrics and the largest X telocentric ( Fig. 21a, b ). Thus, the chromosome system of the species is 2n=21 (20t +Xt). At first metaphase there are 10 autosomes with the X ( Fig. 21c ). At second metaphase, 10 autosomes with the X ( Fig. 21d ) and 10 autosomes ( Fig. 21e ).
