Abstract

The chromosome numbers and karyotype of Euphaedusa fusaniana, a kind of Korean land snail are investigated here. From E. fusaniana, chromosome numbers of 28 (n) and 56 (2n) were counted. Euphaedusa fusaniana has 15 pairs of metacentric chromosomes and 13 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes. The mean total length of all chromosomes was $128.7\;{\pm}\;9.93\;{\mu}m$. The maximum length of chromosomes No. 1 was $9.6\;{\pm}\;0.21\;{\mu}m$.
