Karyological Analysis of Two Allopatric Populations of Planarian Polycelis felina (Daly.) in Croatia

The results of preliminary investigations of two geographically distant and morphologically slightly different Polycelis felina (Daly.) populations from central Croatia are reported. The results have shown that individuals of both populations are diploids, with the same chromosome numbers in their neoblasts (2n=18). Their karyotipes were composed of nine chromosome pairs, three of them are metacentric and the other six are submetacentric. Statistical evalution of data indicated that both populations of Polycelis felina (Daly.) despite minor differences observed between them, belong to the same karyolgical biotype.
