TI  - First report on the chromosome number of a saproxylic beetle, Ropalopus clavipes (Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Callidiini)
AB  - Cerambycidae is poorly known in terms of its cytogenetics. Therefore, longhorn beetles are favorable forintensive chromosome studies. There is little if any chromosomal study in the family for both the tribe CallidiiniKirby, 1837 and its genus Ropalopus Mulsant, 1839. The main objective of the present study is to describe thekaryotype of the longhorn beetle Ropalopus clavipes (Fabricius, 1775) and thus make a contribution to thekaryological data of the family. The karyological analysis of testis of R. clavipes adults showed a diploidchromosome number of 2n=22 (n♂=10+Xyp). The present investigation constitutes the first cytogenetic analysis ofR. clavipes.
