Karyotypes of Five Species of Dendrobatidae (Anura: Amphibia)

Chromosome number and morphology were determined for five species of Dendrobatidae (Anura: Amphibia)-Dendrobates auratus (2N = 18), Dendrobates pumilio (2N = 20), Dendrobates granuliferus (2N = 20), Dendrobates histrionicus (2N = 20), and Phyllobates lugubris (2N = 24). The variability within the ge...

Zusammenfassung:	Chromosome number and morphology were determined for five species of Dendrobatidae (Anura: Amphibia)-Dendrobates auratus (2N = 18), Dendrobates pumilio (2N = 20), Dendrobates granuliferus (2N = 20), Dendrobates histrionicus (2N = 20), and Phyllobates lugubris (2N = 24). The variability within the genus Dendrobates already reported in the literature was confirmed. Intrageneric variations in chromosome number and morphology may be useful for phylogenetic analysis.
