Resumo:
Jhe chromosomic polymorphism of Anopheles darlingi, whose sample was obtained in Highway BR-174 (Manaus/Boa Vista), was here analyzed. Two new independent inversions were described, and the number of rearrangements was raised to twelve. Three asynapsed regions were also described, being one in chromosome X and two in chromosome 2. There was a high occurence of inversions at the heterozygote state and the medium number per individual was high (4,13 ± 0,13). The higher and meaningful frequencies of heterozygote indicated their larger adaptability to the enviromental heterogeneity. The tests for the association of inversions showed the occurrence of an intrachromosomic association (arms 3R and 3D and four interchromosomic ones (chromosomes X-3 and 2-3). The data of the Anopheles darlingi chromosomic polymorphism support the hypothesis that the central populations of a geographic area are more polymorphic than the marginal populations. The A. darlingi populations of Amazônia are highly polymorphic as compared to the southern ones, where certain arrangements with reduce polymorphism were determined.
