The first cytogenetic study was carried out on a recently described monozoic tapeworm, Khawia saurogobii Xi et al., 2009, from the Chinese lizard gudgeon (Saurogobio dabryi). The karyotype of this species is composed of eight pairs of metacentric and telocentric chromosomes (2n=16; n-3m+5t), metacentric chromosomes representing the first, sixth, and eight pairs. All chromosomes except the largest pair displayed 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylidole (DAPI) positive heterochromatin in centromeric regions. The present cytogenetic analysis revealed species-specific characters of K. saurogobii and showed that FISH may represent a new valuable cytogenetic tool suitable for comparative taxonomic or phylogenetic studies within the order Caryophyllidea in the future.
