Comparative study of mitotic chromosomes in two blowflies, Lucilia sericata and L. cluvia (Diptera, Calliphoridae), by C- and G-like banding patterns and rRNA loci, and implications for karyotype evolution


	Female and male karyotypes of L. cluvia (a–b) and L. sericata (c–d), 2n = 10 + XX/XY, stained with 3% Giemsa. X, Y = sex chromosomes. Arrowheads show the secondary constriction in chromosome 2. Arrows show the secondary constriction in the X chromosomes. Asterisks indicate the satellite. Bar = 10 μm.
