Abstract

This report presents a male somatic karyotype (2N=22; FN=40) and late meiotic stages of Schistometopum gregorii that seems to fall in line with that of other taxa of the family Dermophiidae. In view of a different basic chromosome number prevailing for this species as well for this group, it appears possible to predict that this East African species posits more closely related towards Indian endemic Indotyphlidae.
