The karyotypes of Biomphalaria tenagophila collected from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil were studied using the airdrying method. Somatic cells of this species had 2n=36. The 18 chromosome pairs were identified and classified into 3 groups. The diploid cell has 7 pairs of metacentric, 8 pairs of submetacentric, and 3 pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. Observed chromosomes ranged from 2.4 to 6.4 ¥�m, and the total length was 122.3 ¥�m. This is the first report on the chromosome of B. tenagophila.
