For the 4 Plebeia species the heterochromatic arm of the heteromorphic pair was marked by [CMA.sub.3], reinforcing the idea that this region contains the nucleolus organizer. Furthermore, positive correlation was observed between markers Ag-NOR and [CMA.sub.3] in interphase nuclei, which showed the prevalence of G and C bases in the region of the nucleolus.
