Karyological details were studied in males of seven weevil species. The following number of chromosomes were found in individual species: 2n=32, n_=15+Xyp in Gymnetron tetrum (F.) and Gymnetron smreczynski Fremuth, 2n=44, n_=21+Xyp in Cionus tuberculosus (Scop.), 2n=38, n_=18+Xyp in Cionus hortulanus (Geoffr.), Cionus ganglbaueri Wingelm. and Cionus nigritarsis Reitt., 2n=42, n_=20+Xyp in Cionus olivieri Rosensch. In the first meiotic metaphase the heterochromosomes of all the examined species formed a typical parachute bivalent. The chromosome number and sex determining system were described for the first time.

A description of karyotypes in two tribes of weevils, Sciaphilini and Brachyderini, was carried out with a discussion on the main trends of chromosomal evolution occurring in these groups. Some important cytological characteristics, such as chromosome morphology, sex determination type, pattern of male meiosis, B chromosome occurrence, as well as C-heterochromatin, NOR localization, and fluorochrome AT and GC specific staining are presented. The chromosome numbers and morphology in the two tribes of weevils are highly conserved. With the exception of one species, all possessed a diploid number of 22 chromosomes or triploid number of 33 chromosomes. Constitutive heterochromatin was observed in the pericentromeric regions of themajority of the chromosomes. In some species, additional constitutive heterochromatin was also observed in interstitial positions. The study of meiotic cells revealed the occurrence of total synapsis between autosomes, the presence of one terminal, interstitial or two chiasmata, reductional behaviour and regular segregation of all chromosomes, as well as the formation of associations of the Xyp type in sex chromosomes. Testicular cells impregnated with silver nitrate demonstrated NORs localized on autosomes and argentophilic material in the space between the X and y chromosomes. The use of CMA3/DAPI staining showed that centromeric heterochromatin is AT-rich, whereas CMA3 bands were probably conincident with NOR sites.

The C-banding pattern of Bembidion geniculatum, Silpha atrata, Prosternon tesselatum, and Epicometis hirta are presented. All analysed species have pracentromeric C-bands on autosomes and chromosome X but the widest ones are visible in the karyotype of B. geniculatum. In S. atrata, P. tesselatum, and E. hirta sex chromosome y is heterochromatic, only B. geniculatum having the Y chromosome wholly euchromatin. The results indicate that on the chromosomes of the investigated species do not have a terminal and an intercalar segments of heterochromatin.

B-chromosomes were observed in spermatogonial mitotic metaphases, meiotic metaphases I and II of Barypeithes pellucidus from one population in Slovakia. The number of B-chromosomes ranged from one to six per cell and they paired with the sex heterochromosomes in the first meiotic metaphase and rarely with the autosomes. In metaphase I one B-chromosome was always associated with X chromosome forming a tripartite complex. The XyBp was easily recognizable as a complex of three chromosomes in a parachute association The size of the B-chromosomes was approximately the same or a little smaller than that of the y heterochromosome which was the smallest element of the regular chromosome set. Their staining intensity seems to be similar to that of the autosomes and sex chromosomes, respectively. The behaviour of B-chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis in weevils is briefly discussed.

As a part of ongoing cytogenetic studies on the jewel-beetles (Buprestidae, Coleoptera) of Armenia, the male karyotypes and meiosis of nine species (5 genera, 4 tribes, 2 subfamilies) are described, figured and discussed. In Ovalisia nadezhdae Sem., Sphenoptera artemisiae Reitt., Coraebus rubi L., C. sinuatus Creutz., Meliboeus caucasicus Reitt., Agrilus angustulus Ill. Men., A. obscuricollis Kiesw., and A. araxenus Khnz. diploid chromosome numbers vary in a narrow range from 20 to 24. In Sph. glabrata Men. a high chromosome number of 2n=40 was discovered. All the species have a XY sex chromosome system, which is however of different types. The data available on the buprestid karyotypes and karyotype variation at different taxonomic levels within the family are discussed.

The C-banding patterns of twelve weevil species are presented. The obtained results confirm the existence of two groups of species: with a small or large amount of heterochromatin in the karyotype. The first group comprises seven species (Apionidae: Holotrichapion pisi; Curculionidae: Phyllobius urticae, Ph. pyri, Ph. maculicornis, Tanymecus palliatus, Larinodontes turbinatus, Cionus tuberculosus). In weevils with a small amount of heterochromatin, tiny grains on the nucleus in interphase are visible, afterwards in mitotic and meiotic prophase appearing as dark dots. The absence of C-bands does not indicate a lack of heterochromatin but heterochromatic regions are sometimes so small that the condensation is not visible during the cell cycle. The second group comprises five species (Otiorhynchus niger, O. morio, Polydrusus corruscus, Barypeithes chevrolati, Nedyus quadrimaculatus) which possess much larger heteropicnotic parts of chromosomes visible during all nuclear divisions. The species examined have paracentromeric C-bands on autosomes and the sex chromosome X, except for Otiorhynchus niger, which also has an intercalary bands on one pair of autososomes. All the species examined differ in the size of segments of constitutive heterochromatin. The y heterochromosome is dot-like and wholly euchromatic in all the studied species.

Karyological studies were carried out on six bisexual weevil species from five subfamilies, viz. ? Otiorhynchinae, Cleoninae, Curculioninae, Pissodinae, and Hylobiinae. The following chromosome numbers were found in individual species: in Peritelus leucogrammus Germ., Phyllobius cloropus (L.), and Hypera viciae (Gyll.) 2n = 22, n_ = 10+Xyp, in Curculio venosus Grav. 2n= 26, n_ = 12+Xyp, in Magdalis armigera (Foucr.) 2n = 36, n_ = 17+Xyp, in Lixus filiformis (F.) 2n = 44, n_ = 21+Xyp. The heterochromosomes of all the examined species form, in the first meiotic metaphase, a parachute bivalent. The mitoses were observed and analysed in three species. The karyotypes of Peritelus leucogrammus Germ., Phyllobius cloropus (L.), and Curculio venosus Grav. are constituted by metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes.

Karyotypes of three weevil species, viz. Brachysomus dispar (2n=22, n=10+Xyp), Brachysomus hirtus (3n=33, n=10+X) and Strophosoma faber (2n=22, n=10+Xyp) belonging to the tribes Sciaphilini and Brachyderini, were studied using the C-banding technique. The karyotype structures of the two bisexual and one parthenogenetic species are described for the first time. Most chromosomes are meta- or submetacentric. In the two species of the genus Brachysomus, the chromosomes resemble one another in having a rather small amount of heterochromatin restricted to the pericentromeric region, visible as dark stained blocks mainly during the early stages of nuclear division. Larger bands at mitotic metaphase and diakinesis occur only in Strophosoma faber. Geographic parthenogenesis in Brachysomus hirtus is briefly discussed.

The karyotype structure of Laena reitteri is described for the first time. The chromosome number 2n=18+1-3B and meioformula n%=8+Xyp+1-3B deviates from the modal tenebrionid number. The karyotype exhibits low variation in morphology and length. The diploid set consists of four long (subtelocentric and acrocentric), twelve medium-sized acrocentric autosomes and sex heterochromosomes Xy. The X chromosome is submeta- centric, while the y is acrocentric and the smallest element of the set. On mitotic and meiotic plates 1-3 small additional elements are also visible, and probably represent B The NORs are very active at mitotic prophase and early meiotic stages.
