| Meliponini | Trigonisca sp. | Urbano Santos, Maranhão | Brazil | 15 | 30 | k= 4metacentric + 8submetacentric + 18subtelocentric | Giemsa | FISH (ribosomal, microsatellites probes) | Cunha et al. 2021 Cunha et al. 2024 |
Chromosome classification: Levan et al. (1964): metacentric (m), submetacentric (sm), subtelocentric (st), or acrocentric (a). Imai (1991): metacentric (M) or acrocentric (A), with a variety of forms depending on the position of the heterochromatin on the karyotype.
