Chromosomes of parasitic wasps of the genus Metaphycus (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae)
Karyotypes of four species of the genus Metaphycus Mercet, 1917, namely, M. flavus (Howard, 1881) and M. luteolus (Timberlake, 1916) (both have n = 10 and 2n = 20), M. angustifrons Compere, 1957 (n = 9 and 2n = 18) and M. stanleyi Compere, 1940 (n = 5 and 2n = 10) were studied. The latter chromosom...
