Abstract
This paper presents the standard banding pattern in the salivary gland chromo-somes of Anopheles jamesi, a member of the subgenus Cellia. Mosquitoes were collected from the cattle-sheds in the thick forests of Khasi and Jaintia hills of northeast India (Assam). Attempts have been made to compare the banding pattern of the salivary chromosomes of the present species with those of other species belonging to the subgenus Cellia and to draw a cytological relationship among them. The observations reveal that there are several areas in the autosomes of these species which are homologous. The X-chromosome, however, shows considerable differentiation in its banding pattern.
