A cytogenetic study was conducted on two species of the genus Pimelodus that were collected from the Piquiri river, Paran?, Brazil: Pimelodus paranaensis and Pimelodus heraldoi. Both had a diploid number of 2n=56 chromosomes and a fundamental number (FN) of 104. In P. paranaensis, the karyotype consisted of 22m+22sm+4st+8a chromosomes, whereas the karyotype of P. heraldoi consisted of 18m+24sm+6st+8a. The AgNORs were localized in the terminal region of the long arm in one pair of subtelocentric chromosomes, pair 24 in P. paranaensis and pair 23 in P. heraldoi. The latter species showed size heteromorphism of these regions between the chromosome homologues. Heterochromatin was distributed mainly in the terminal regions in the two species. CMA3-positive staining was observed in some chromosomes, besides being associated with NORs, which were all DAPI-negative, in both species of Pimelodus. C-banding plus CMA3 and DAPI showed that most of the heterochromatic regions were rich in AT bases in P. paranaensis and P. heraldoi.

Cytogenetic studies were carried out on seven specimens of Pimelodus heraldoi and sixteen specimens of Pimelodus sp., both from the Parana River basin. The two species had the same diploid number of 56 chromosomes: P. heraldoi with 22M+22SM+6ST+6A and FN of 106 and Pimelodus sp. with 24M+26SM+4ST+2A and FN of 110. NORs were found at the terminal position of the long arm of one pair of ST chromosomes. C-banding (CB) showed in the two species heterochromatin distributed in various chromosomes of the complement, mainly in telomeric regions and in a pair of metacentric chromosomes with strong heterochromatic staining in both telomeres. Treatment only with the fluorochrome CMA3 confirmed in Pimelodus heraldoi and Pimelodus sp. the nucleolar chromosome pair and showed other fluorescent bands. Combined treatment with CB+CMA3 enhanced fluorescent staining of chromosomes in the two fish species evidencing several bands, including in P. heraldoi a chromosome pair showing fluorescent staining in both telomeres.
