Abstract
Dugesia gonocephala (Dugès, 1830) and D. polychroa (Schmidt, 1861), collected from the Greek island of Corfu, have been investigated karyologically. The former is a sexual diploid (2n = 16) in which all the chromosomes are metacentric. The latter is a sexual diploid (2n = 8) with one submetacentric and three metacentric chromosome pairs.
Highlights
During a visit to the Greek island of Corfu to collect marine and freshwater planarians (Tricladida), several specimens of the common European a common Dugesia species of Corfu, D. gonocephala (Duges, 1830), which is well known karyologically (Benazzi & Benazzi-Lentati, 1976)was studied so as to form a check for the methods employed
Dugesia gonocephala (Duges, 1830) and Phagocata olivacea (Schmidt, 1861) were present in small numbers; an as yet unidentified Dendrocoelum species was abundant in the cooler reaches
