Abstract

A new cytotype of Simulium squamosum Enderlein (Diptera: Simuliidae) (here named S. squamosum'D') is described from around Mount Cameroon in south-west Cameroon on the basis of sex-chromosome differences on the short arm of chromosome I. Two polymorphic inversions, IS-To (a new inversion) and IS-2, are partially Y linked. These inversions usually occur together, although IS-To has a higher frequency and is more strongly Y linked than IS-2. This sex-chromosome system has not been previously described and the occurrence and evolution of sex-chromosome systems in S. squamosum is discussed.
