✦ Synopsis

A diploid chromosome number of2n = 48 has been observed in Puntius conchonius (Cyprinidae) with the chromosome formula n = 5 m + 10 sm + 5 st + 4 t. The bivalents at metaphase I exhibit a single terminal or non-terminal chiasma each.

The karyotypic details of Puntius conchonius observed during the present investigation are quite different from those previously recorded.
