Abstract

CHAPTER II: The Hypostominae subfamily comprises 45 genera, and in only five (Hypostomus, Liposarcus, Rhinielepis, Pogonopoma and Pterygoplichthys) some sort of cytogenetic work has been developed, being Hypostomus genus the largest in number of karyotyped species. Four species of the genus Hypostomus from Araguari and Tijuco rivers, Uberlândia-MG, were analyzed: H. regani, H. paulinus, H. margaritifer e H. strigaticeps, through cytogenetic techniques such as conventional staining, silver nitrate impregnation, C-banding and fluorochromes CMA3 and Hoechst 33258. In the conventional analysis H. regani presented 2n = 72, 10m+18sm+44st/a; H.strigaticeps 2n = 74, 6m+14sm+54st/a; H. margaritifer 2n = 74, 10m+24sm+40st/a, with an individual presen...
