Abstracts

EN

Different morphological types of B-chromosomes in Rhinocola aceris from Katowice (southern Poland) were found for the first time in Psylloidea. Four types of supernumerary chromosomes: B1, B2, B3, and B4 were described on the basis of their morphology and heterochromatin pattern. Their behaviour during meiosis suggests a high tolerance of this species for different numbers of B-chromosomes.
