Abstract

Chromosomal complements of an oocyte and a fertilized ovum from the ootype of Isoparorchis hypselobagri Billet, 1898 have been studied. Twenty diploid and 10 haploid chromosomes have been observed. In the karyotype the presence of five submetacentric, four acentric and a pair of sex chromosomes provide a significant cytotaxonomic information.
