| Meliponini | Friesella schrottkyi | Pedregulho, Cunha, São Paulo; Viçosa, Rio Paranaíba, Minas Gerais | Brazil | 34 | 2k= 10metacentric + 12submetacentric + 12subtelocentric | 0.42-0.44 | C-banding | DAPI/CMA3; FISH (microsatellite and ribosomal probes) | Tavares et al. 2012 Elizeu et al. 2021 |
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.
