本文以蜘蛛生殖腺為材料,依Luykx(1983)之方法並加以改良,首次應用在蜘蛛染色體之製作。六種臺灣產蜘蛛雌(♀)雄(♂)染色體之二倍體(2n)數目、雄蜘第一次減數分裂(n(I))之二價體數目和性染色體(X's)、第二減數分裂(n(II))之染色體數目,以及各種蜘蛛之性別決定機制分別為:棘渦蜘Octonoba spinosa(渦蜘科)2n=18♂/20♀,n(I) = 8 + X1X2,n(II) = 8或10,X1X2O型性別決定機制;大姬蜘Achaearanea tepidariorum(姬蜘科)n(I) = 10 + X1X2,X1X2O型;中國褸網蜘Psechrus sinensis(褸網蜘科)2n=24♂,n(I) = 11 + X1X2,n(II) = 11或13,X1X2O型;條紋貓蜘Oxyopes macilentus(貓蜘科)之臺北族群為2n=21♂/22♀,n(I) = 10 + X,n(II) = 10或11,而花蓮族群為2n=23♂,n(I) = 11 + X,n(II) = 11或12,二者均為XO型性別決定機制;斜紋貓蜘Oxyopes sertatus(貓蜘科)2n=21♂/22♀,n(I)=10 + X,n(II) = 10或11,XO型;絞蜘Anahita fauna(絞蜘科)2n=29♂,n(I) = 13 + X1X2X3,n(II) = 13或16,X1X2X3O型。其中棘渦蜘、中國褸網蜘、條紋貓蜘和絞蜘等四種臺灣常見蜘蛛之染色體數目及性別決定機制為首次記錄。而中國褸網蜘和絞蜘分別代表的褸網蜘科和絞蜘科之染色體也是首次報導。條紋貓蜘具有染色體多型性,其花蓮族群之雄性個體染色體數目2n = 23為本屬蜘蛛之首例。
An improved newly introduced air-dried method was to prepare spider chromosomes. Chromosomal data are reported for 6 species of 5 families of spiders from Taiwan. The number of diploid chromosomes (2n) in both male (♂) and female (♀), the number of autosomal bivalents and the univalent sex chromosomes (X's) in the 1st meiotic division (n(I)) in male, the number of chromosomes in the 2nd meiotic division (n(II)) in male, and the type of sex-determining mechanism of each species were determined as follows: Octonoba spinosa (Uloboridae) 2n = 18♂/20♀, n(I) = 8 + X1X2, n(II) = 8 and 10, X1X2O type; Achaearanea tepidariorum (Theridiidae) n(I) = 10 + X1X2, X1X2O type; Psechrus sinensis (Psechridae) 2n = 24♂, n(I) = 11 + X1X2, n(II) = 11 and 13, X1X2O type; Oxyopes macilentus (Oxyopidae) 2n = 21♂/22♀, n(I) = 10 + X, n(II) = 10 and 11 in the Taipei population, and 2n = 23♂, n(I) = 11 + X, n(II) = 11 and 12 in the Hualien population, both XO type; Oxyopes sertatus (Oxyopidae) 2n = 21♂/22♀, n (I) = 10 + X, n(II) = 10 and 11, XO type; and Anahita fauna (Ctenidae) 2n = 29♂, n(I) = 13 + X1X2X3, n(II) = 13 and 16, X1X2X3O type. The chromosome data of Octonoba spinosa, Psechrus sinensis, Oxyopes macilentus, and Anahita fauna are reported for the first time. In addition, chromosome data of the families Psechridae and Ctenidae represented by Psechrus sinensis and Anahita fauna, respectively, are also reported for the first time. Oxyopes macilentus is reported to exhibit chromosome polymorphism among populations, and the diploid chromosome number 2n = 23 with 11 pairs of autosomes in 1 male is reported for the first time among all species of Oxyopes studied.
