Chromosome number and other karyotypic features of parasitic wasps as a source of taxonomic information
V. E. Gokhman
ABSTRACT
The current state and perspectives of chromosomal taxonomy in the parasitic Hyrnenoptera are reviewed. Karyological research may provide taxonomic information for various groups of hymenopterous parásitas, although it is most significant at the species level. Karyotaxonomy of parasitic wasps will probably develop in the future through further data accumulation and increasing use of chromosome banding methods.
