The sibling species Anopheles atroparvus and Anopheles labranchiae are cytogenetically almost indistinguishable. The chromosome complement (2n = 6) consists of two pairs of autosomes and two
heteromorphic sex chromosomes with largely homologous heterochromatic long arms. Treatment of chromosome preparations with the restriction endonucleases, Alu I, Hae III, Mbo I, Hpa II,
revealed species-specific differences of the sex chromosome banding pattern. These differences involved both amount and location of digested heterochromatin. Heterochromatin heterogeneity
and a high level of intraspecific polymorphism, undetected with standard banding techniques, were observed in both species. Quantitative heterochromatin differences between the sex
chromosomes did not inhibit their pairing and chiasmata formation. The endonuclease Msp I, which cleaves the same target sequence as Hpa II, did not digest heterochromatic as well as
euchromatic regions in both species: inhibition of cleavage by methylation of the target sequence or limited access of the enzyme to the target could be involved in this response.
