| Description: | The chromosome numbers of 21 Costa Rican anurans, representing eleven genera and seven families were determined from testicular meiotic cells stained with propiono-orcein. In this group higher numbers are generally present in the more primitive taxa. Dendrobates auratus and Eleutherodactylus podiciferus present a haploid number of 9, the lowest reported among anurans. The highest haploid number, 13, was found in members of the Hylidae, Microhylidae and Ranidae. |
