Description

Spermatocyte chromosomes of butterflies caught in late July, 1983, in Jammu and Kashmir, India, were examined with particular concern as to their number and morphology. The haploid chromosome numbers established are listed below. Pieridae Colias fieldii fieldii, n,31(I): Fig.1. Pontia callidice karola, n, 24, 25, 26 (I): Figs.2 and 3. Artogeia canidia indica, n, 25 (I): Fig.4. Pieris brassicae nepalensis, n, 15 (I, II): Fig.5. Nymphalidae Boloria pales korla, n, 31 (I): Fig.6. Although the European taxa of Boloria pales studied are uniformly characterized by an n, 30-karyotype (♂) (LESSE, 1953, 1960, 1961), the haploid complement of Boloria pales korla comprizes, as mentioned above, thirty-one elements of dot-appearance and a single element of the remarkable size is certainly distinguishable at MI (Fig.6).
