Chromosomes and detailed karyotype information (the number, shape, relative length, arm ratio, centromeric index) of Callimenus (=Bradyporus) macrogaster macrogaster Lef.(Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea, Bradyporini) of Turkey belonging to the subfamily Bradyporinae are described.The diploid number of chromosomes was found to be 2n male symbol= 23, with 2 metacentric pairs, 2 submetacentric pairs, 6 p32 can opener acrocentric pairs.The X chromosome is metacentric.

This species has a redken chromatics 6nn XX female symbol/ X0 male symbolsex determining mechanism.The basic karyotype is complemented by a description of C- and G-banding patterns.The C-banding pattern in spermatogonial metaphase was characterized by the presence of paracentromeric C-bands in all chromosomes, and a distal C-band in chromosome 5.The G-banding pattern was complex.

The 2C nuclear DNA content was found to be 10.26 plus or minus0.16 picograms by microspectrophotometry.
