Abstract
The karyotypes of Korean endemic land snail, Koreanohadra koreana, using air-drying method wereinvestigated. Somatic cells of this species had 2n = 58. Karyotypes were also analysed with 16 metacentric, 12 submetacentric and one subtelocentric chromosome pairs. Observed chromosomes ranged from 2.6 to $8.9{\mu}m$ and the total length was $122.3{\mu}m$. This is the second report on the chromosome numbers and the karyotype of K. koreana.
