Cytological investigations in forty-five species of Indian moths belonging to ten families (Tinaeidae, Limacodidae, Thyrididae, Pyralididae, Lasiocampidae, Saturnidae, Sphingidae, Noctuidae, Lymantriidae, Hypsidae) of Lepidoptera revealed haploid chromosome numbers varying from 12 to 31, the latter number being predominant (in 26 species). Their haploid chromosome numbers at metaphase I and II are stated in a table.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
