The Hoechst 33258 banding pattern of the mitotic chromosomes of several laboratory and natural populations of the sibling species A. gambiae and A. arabiensis was analyzed. A clear intraspecific polymorphism of sex chromosome heterochromatin was observed. In each species heterochromatic variations fall within a characteristic species-specific pattern. While laboratory populations tend to be monomorphic for a given heterochromatic variant, natural populations exhibit a high degree of intrapopulation polymorphism. The possible role of sex chromosome heterochromatin in controlling fertility and mating behavior of Anopheles spp. mosquitoes is discussed.
