Fig. 3. Chromosomes of Linyphiidae (A–D), Theridiidae (E–L) and Theridiosomatidae (Araneoidea). Agyneta sp. (A–D), Coleosoma floridanum (E–G), Thymoites sp.1 (H–J), Thymoites sp.2 (K–L) and Naatlo sp. (M-P): A: Mitotic spermatogonial metaphase composed of 24 telocentric chromosomes. B: Mitotic oogonial metaphase with 26 telocentric chromosomes. C: Spermatocyte I (early diplotene) with 11 autosomal bivalents and two positively heteropycnotic sex chromosome univalents arranged in parallel (11II+X1X2). D: Spermatocyte I (metaphase I) with 11 autosomal bivalents and two sex chromosome univalents (11II+X1X2). E, H: Mitotic spermatogonial metaphase, 2nò = 22 telocentric chromosomes. F, I, K: Mitotic oogonial metaphases, 2nñ = 24 telocentric chromosomes. G, J, L: Spermatocyte I, metaphase I (G, J) and early diplotene (L) consisting of 10 autosomal bivalents and two sex chromosome univalents (10II+X1X2). Sex chromosomes are positively heteropycnotic at J and L. While they are associated at G, they pair in parallel in J. Mode of pairing is unclear at L. M: Mitotic spermatogonial metaphase, 2nò = 30. N: Spermatocyte I, metaphase I. Note 14 autosomal bivalents and two sex chromosome univalents (14II+X1X2). O: Metaphase II, n = 14. P: Metaphase II, n = 16 (14+X1X2). Sex chromosomes are positively heteropycnotic. Arrowhead = bivalent with two chiasmata. Scale bars = 5 µm.
