Extract

A karyometric analysis of the diploid complement of two species of the genus Procerodes (Tricladida: Maricola), both from British waters, has been carried out

The diploid number of Procerodes littoralis, 2n = 14, was established on mitosis from regenerative blastema and the haploid number n = 7 from spermatocyte I stages. All the chromosomes are metacentric, their centromeric index varying from 47·91 in the chromosome 5 to 38·39 in the chromosome 4.
