Synopsis

The breeding season of Hypogastrura viatica (Tullberg 1872) appears to reach its peak in mid-April when both sexes occur in about equal numbers. Cytological examination reveals a karyotype of 14/XX in the female and 13X/O in the male. The investigation of spermateleosis and maturation of the egg is incomplete but arguments for and against the occurrence of parthenogenesis are presented.
