Heterochromatic patterns after C-banding technique in the karyotypes of the studied fungus-farming ants a Cyphomyrmex transversus (2n = 18) b Mycetomoellerius relictus (2n = 20), and c Sericomyrmex maravalhas (2n = 48). Dark blocks indicate heterochromatin in the centromeric/pericentromeric regions and short arms of the chromosomes. Scale bars: 5 µm.
