Abstract
THE class Myriapoda has received scant attention from cytologists, the order Diplopoda even less. Among the earlier contributions to this field of study, mention may be made of Oettinger1, Sokoloff2 and Bessiere3. Barring a recent contribution to the cytology of three South Indian species of Diplopoda by Natarajan4, no attention has been devoted to chromosome studies in this group.
