  • Chromosomally, St. diplomutata and St. mutata differ from other members of the genus Stegopterna (e.g., St. emergens) by not having the fixed inversion IS-1 described by Madahar (1969). The IS-1 inversion has breakpoints (relative to the centromere) in the proximal region of section 3 and the distal region of section 6. Furthermore, St. mutata and St. diplomutata have the nucleolar organizer (NO) in the base of IL as compared with other species in genus Stegopterna which have the NO in the base of IS (Madahar 1969).
