| Meliponini | Cephalotrigona femorata | Urbano Santos, Maranhão | Brazil | 34 | 2k= 34pseudo-acrocentric; 2k= 24metacentric + 6submetacentric + 4subtelocentric | 0.55 | C-banding | DAPI/CMA3; FISH (ribosomal probe, microsatellite probes) | Tavares et al. 2012 Miranda et al. 2013 Cunha et al. 2021 Cunha et al. 2023a |
Chromosome classification: Levan et al. (1964): metacentric (m), submetacentric (sm), subtelocentric (st), or acrocentric (a). Imai (1991): metacentric (M) or acrocentric (A), with a variety of forms depending on the position of the heterochromatin on the karyotype.
