Abstract
The chromosome numbers of two species (Culter brevicauda and Erythroculter erythropterus) of Korean Cultrinae are investigated. In two species, the mitotic chromosomes from 24 groups with two chromosomes each indicated that it is a diploid. Their karyotypes and total length of chromosomes were slightly different from each other. The karyotype of C. brevicauda and E. erthropterus is 2n=48 (7M+10SM+7ST), FN=96 and 2n=48 (6M+10SM+8ST), FN=96. Observed chromosomes of C. brevicauda and E. erythropterus ranged from 5.4 to $2.2{\mu}m$ and 6.1 to $2.3{\mu}m$ in length, respectively.
