Abstract

Cytological investigations using polytene chromosomes as a tool have demonstrated that inversion polymorphism is widespread in several members of the order Diptera. In the family sarcophagidae, which comprises several synanthropic and necrophagous filth flies however, chromosomal analysis in several species have been done, only a few cases of inversion polymorphism have been reported earlier. In the present communication some more cases of chromosomal polymorphism have been discussed.
