The chromosomes of 24 Japanese weevils were reinvestigated in the male germ line using squash preparations. The results are summarized in Table 1. All species have an Xyp sex-determining mechanism.

The chromosomes of two Japanese weevils, Blosyrus japonicus Sharp and Callirhopalus (= Pseudocneorhinus) obesusRoelofs, were studied.The former consists of four races: one 2n and bisexual (= Blosyrusfalcatus Faust) and three parthenogenetic -4n, 5n, and 6n. In general the races are allopatric. The l
The chromosomes of thirty Japanese heteropterans were studied in male or female germ cells and embryo cells in acetic orcein squashes or air-dried slides stained with Giemsa. This work revealed the chromosome formuIa and the sex-mechanism of Rhopalidae for the first time. New data on the chromosomes
