The revision of chromosome I ( AB ) mapping in Chironomus plumosus group ( Diptera : Chironomidae )

The revision of main and alternative banding sequences in chromosome I (AB) have been made for all 14 species of the Chironomus plumosus (Linnaeus, 1758) group. New version of mapping had been suggested for 14 out of 22 banding sequences of arm A. Mapping of 18 banding sequences in arm B have been made for the first time according to Maximova-Shobanov system. Phylogenetic relationships of the banding sequences of chromosome I are discussed.
