Chromosomes from gonads of 14-24 h old pupae of 9 spp. of Aedes mosquitoes were examined using the Giemsa C[constitutive heterochromatin]-banding technique. The species studied were A. albopictus, A. polynesiensis, A. scutellaris, A. alcasidi, A. seatoi, A. pseudalbopictus, A. metallicus, A. annandalei and A. vittatus. The diploid chromosome number of all species is 6. All species possess C-bands in the centromeric regions of each of the 3 paris of chromosomes. An intercalary C-band is present on the female determining (= m) chromosome but absent from the male-determining (= M) chromosome of all species except A. vittatus. In A. vittatus, the m and M chromosomes possess a terminal C-band. The 9 spp. of Aedes analyzed showed 2 distinct patterns of C-banding. The evolution of heterochromatin patterns in various species is discussed. The Giemsa C-banding technique should prove useful in studies of chromosomal speciation in culicine mosquitoes.
