Cytogenetics of Oryctes nasicornis L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) with Emphasis on Its Neochromosomes and Asynapsis Inducing Premature Bivalent and Chromosome Splits at Meiosis

The chromosomes of specimens of Oryctes nasicornis from three locations in France and two locations in Greece were studied. All karyotypes have an X-Y-autosome translocation: 18, neoXY.
