Complicated chromosome polymorphisms accompanying chromosome number reduction (2n=8&gt;7&gt; 6) by AM inversion, centric fission and centric fusion were also observed between chromosomes 1L and 4 and between chromosomes IS and 3. Despite this complexity the authors considered all examined specimens to be conspecific.
