Extract

A karyometric analysis of the diploid complement of Procerodes dohrni (Turbellaria: Tricladida) was carried out on mitoses from regenerative blastema. P. dohrni has seven pairs of homologous chromosomes. Chromosome lengths decrease gradually and homologous pairs cannot be grouped. With reference to centromere position, chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are metacentric, their centrometric indices vary from 46·74 to 39·82, while chromosomes 5 and 7 are submetacentric, their centromeric index being 34·63 and 29·86 respectively.
