摘要：

A. aquaticus, a sexually dimorphic isopod crustacean, has no morphologically distinguishable sex chromosome pair. In 25% of the males from a natural population the fluorochrome chromomycin A3 revealed a pair of metacentric chromosomes that was heteromorphic for 2 heterochromatic areas. One chromosome had a fluorescent band in each of the 2 arms, whereas the other chromosome lacked both bands. Chromosomal analysis was perfomred on 50 sibships produced by known parents. The heterochromosome was inherited only by the male offspring of males bearing it. Its distribution led us to postulate the existence of an incipient differentiating sex chromosome pair in the A. aquaticus population.
