Meiosis in Haematopinus Suis and Menacanthus Stramineus (Phthiraptera, Insecta)

Haemalopinus suis (Anoplura) and Menacanthus stramineus (Mallophaga) have been cytogenetically analyzed. Both species have 2n = 10, holokinetic chromosomes, and achiasmatic male meiosis. Bivalents orientate with their long axis perpendicular to the spindle fibers at melaphase I, and first anaphase i...
