Ag-NORs in the terminal regions of the short arms of pair 24 and on the long arm of one homolog of pair 6; GC-rich regions were detected in six chromosomes ;18S rDNA sites occurred on the short arms of pairs 1, 14, and 24, and on the long arms of pairs 5 and 6, always in the terminal region ; 5S rDNA sites were located near the centromeres of pairs 2 and 22
