The origin and species differentiation of the Philippine medaka, Oryzias luzonensis, was studied by means of karyotype analyses and interspecific hybridyzations. The karyotype revealed 2n = 48 consisting of 24 pairs of biarmed chromosomes (NF = 96). Characteristic C-bands were found in three sub-metacentric pairs. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were detected on the short arms of the satellited sub-metacentric pair. Estimated DNA-value was 1.9 pg per nucleus. Interspecific crosses revealed that O. luzonensis was allied most closely to O. latipes (biarmed chromosome type), less closely to O. celebensis (fused chromosome type), and least closely to O. melastigma and O.javanicus (monoarmed chromosome type), which are distributed in east Asia, the Sulawesi, and south-west Asia and west side of south-east Asia, respectively. The external appearance of O. luzonensis was also more similar to that of O. latipes. From these results, we concluded that O. luzonensis is a member of the biarmed chromosome group and the nearest relative to O. latipes. Thus, the Philippine medaka seems to be of east Asiatic origin, having migrated to northern Luzon from the China continent via Formosa.
