A comparative karyotype analysis of two populations of Podisma sapporensis showed that :2n male=22 + XO and 2n female = 22 + XX, the X chromosomes are subacrocentric as a result of the inversion within a population derived from Sakhalin; 2n male=20 + neo-X+neo-Y and 2nfemale=20 + neo-XX, as a ersult of X autosome translocation in population from the Kurile Islands (Kunashir).
Seven categories of B chromosomes found in the brachypterus grasshopper Podisma sapporensis from Hokkaido populations differ in structure, size, and C-band content. The interchange between B and one autosome from M3 and sporadically M7 was observed in most of the populations examined. Such an interaction between standard and non-standard chromosomal set provides an insight into the integration of supernumerary chromosome. In addition, C-heterochromatin polymorphism was also identified in male karyotypes in some populations. These facts indicate P. sapporensis is a highly polymorphic species from the cytogenetic point of view.
