Abstract

The chromosome numbers in 16 species belonging to 7 families of nudibranchs are here. The chromosomes so far reported reported by preceding investigators are shown in Table 1, and those by the authors are present listedin Table 2. These numbers are uniformly 13 in haploid without exception, and in spite of the remarkable difference in their external rnorphology, these nudibranchs the similar have karyotype, The sperma- togonial chromosomes are regarded as of metacentric nature, The sexual difference of chromosomes is not observed,

In Japanese nudibranchs, the chromosomes of 13 species were observed by INABA and HiRoTA (1958)and INABA b, 1961a). (1959a, Recently, MANcJNo and SoRDi (1964a, b, 1965) reported the chromosomes of 16 Mediterranean nudibranchs, and BuRcH and NATARAJAN (1967) reported the chromosorne numbers of 2 nudibranchs from Eniwetok Atoll. These results are listedin Table 1, with some other previous reports. In this paper, the chromosomes of 16 nudibranchs in opisthobranchiate gastropods are described, and these results are discussed with other investigations. Before further, going the authors express their cordial thanks to Dr, R. HiRoTA, Mukaishima Marine Biological Station, and Mr. H. MuKAi, graduate student of Hiroshima University, for their aids in collecting the materials.

Those materials were all collected from the vicinity of Mu kaishima Marine Biological Station in different

seasons. The materials were fixed and stained by aceto-orcein squash method. Ob- servation was made under the Olympus and Nikon microscopes using a 100 × oil im-

mersion objective and 15-20 × oculars. The magnification of all the figures and the photographs was 3300 times.

Results of Observation

].) Aldisa sanguinea (Co6pER, 1862) A common in medium size. Body-length is about 25mm. The back is thickly covered with tiny rounded granules. General body-colour is vivid orange-red sprinkled everywhere with minute and indistinct black dots. It has 2 (or 1 or some- times 4) black spots on the back in the middle line. This species was obtained from rock reefs at an the islet near Mukaishima in July, 1966, The early metaphase of the lst spermatocyte wus examined. There were 13 chromosomes on the haploid nucleus plate. Some of them were ring-shaped (Pl, III, Fig. 1).

Each of the branchial papillae is marked with a subapical vermilion ring, This specimen was collected on Sai'gTissztm weeds in the vicinity of the Station in August, 1966, In the lst spermatocyte prometaphase, there occurred 13 bivalents varying in size in a considerable degree (Pl.

The back and sides are marked with fine, irregular, longitudinal opaque white lines. This is very distinctive with 2 conspicuous red blotches in the head and 1 on each side. This species was collected on Sargassblm weeds near the Station in November, 1965. As the generic name of this species, Rig2olia must be used instead of Crateha (BABA, 1964). In the lst diakinesis, 13 biva- lents containing some ring-shaped chromosomes were observed (PI. II, Fig. 11). I6) Limenandra .ktstfbrmis (BABA., 1949) This eolis attains large up to 70mm in Iength. The branchial papillae are long fusiform and fall off very easiiy. Body-colour is brown with yellowish spots here and there on the back. This species was obtained from Sa71gussunz weeds in the shallow water around the Station in November, 1965. In the lst spermatocyte nucleus, the chromosomes varying in size were observed. The number was 13 (Pl. III, Fig. 7).

Discussion

The chrornosome numbers of 33 species of nudibranchs so far published by the mvestigators past are shown in Table 1. The work of the classical authors listed in Table bracket) is unsatisfactory (in by present-day standards. The chromosome numbers studied by the present authors are listed in Table 2. It is evident from these tables that the chromosome number of nudibranchs is uniformly 13 in haploid, and that there are no species which have 12 or 17 chromo- somes as reported in other orders of opisthobranchiate gastropods (INABA, 1959b, 1961a ; MANciNo and SoR])[ 1964a, b, 1965, BuRcH and NATARAJAN, 1967). The chromosomes of 16 species of nudibranchs here under study are also closely alike with each other in every morphological aspect. It is noticeable that the species belonging to the different suborders, such as Doridoidea, Dendronotoidea, Arminoidea and Eolidoidea, show a close similarity as to their chromosomes, irrespective of the remarkable difference in their morphological and anatomical characteristics.

In general morphology the spermatogonial chromosome of Nudibranchs are repre- sented by typical V-, wide-open V- or slightly curved rod-shaped in appearance, in both figuresdrawn from parathn section (INABA and HiRoTA 1958 ; INABA 1959a, b) and
