Chromosomes of Gagrellopsis noduli/era Sato and Suzuki (Arachnida, Opiliones, Phalangiidae) were surveyed for 28 populations in Honshu, Japan. Chromosome numbers were found to vary among and sometimes within populations with a fairly wide range from 2n= 14 to 22. This variation in chromosome number can be mainly attributed to centric fusion or fission. A hybrid zone of about 10-15 km width was found in the eastern part of Tottori Prefecture, western Honshu, where two forms with different chromosome numbers, 2n=16 and 2n=22, meet. Presumable formation process of the hybrid zone is presented on the supposition that origin of the zone dates back to about 8,000-10,000 years B.P. during the postglacial period.
