The Salivary Chromosomes of Anopheles philippinensis Ludlow

A standard salivary chromosome map for Anopheles (Cellia) philippinensis has been constructed and presented. A comparison of the banding pattern in the salivary chromosomes of A. philippinensis with those already investigated elsewhere has been made. A few characters in the band sequence have been observed to exist in almost all the species of the subgenus Cellia, thus, reflecting a possible evolution of various species from a common ancestral form.
