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.
In three previous papers ('05, '06, '08) the chromosomes of several species of Coleoptera have been described and figured, and the riile of the heterochromosomes in sex determination discussed. The following pages are a further contribution to our knowledge of the character and behavior of the heter
