Abstract
The first chromosome study of Trigonostigma somphongsi (Meinken,1958) from Thailand. Specimens were collected from Pak Phli District, Nakhornnayok Province, central Thailand. The mitotic chromosomes were directly prepared from kidney tissues of two males and two females. Conventional staining and Ag-NOR banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results shown that diploid chromosome number of T. somphongsi was 2n=50, the fundamental numbers (NF) were 92 in both male and female. The types chromosomes consisted of 10 metacentric, 20 submetacentric, 12 acrocentric and 8 telocentric chromosomes. The result also exhibited that the interstitial nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were clearly observed at the short arm of chromosome pair 2. The karyotype formula could be deduced as: 2n (diploid) 50=10m+20sm+12a+8t.
