In the present study five species of fish from the genus Trichomycterus were analyzed cytogenetically, including T. diabolus, T. iheringi, T. zonatus, Trichomycterus cf. mimonha and Trichomycterus sp., collected at different Brazilian basins. The analyses involved classical (Giemsa conventional staining, localization of NORs for silver nitrate marking and C-banding) and molecular cytogenetic techniques (fluorescent in situ hybridization with ribosomal 5S and 18S, and U2 snDNA probes). All species showed diploid number of 2n = 54 chromosomes with variations in karyotype formula. Trichomycterus diabolus, T. iheringi, T. zonatus and Trichomycterus cf. mimonha presented their karyotype with 34m + 12sm + 8st and Trichomycterus sp. presented 36m + 10sm + 8st, besides the occurrence of supernumerary chromosomes. The species also reveals differences in relation to the size of the first two chromosome pairs of the karyotype, where Trichomycterus sp. and T. diabolus presented the first and second metacentric with similar size and larger than the other chromosomes, while in T. zonatus, Trichomycterus cf. mimonha and T. iheringi only the first metacentric was considered the largest pair. The constitutive heterochromatin showed interstitial blocks in pairs 2, 3, 7, 8, 19 and 23 in T. iheringi and the par 18 in T. diabolus and the other species presented centromeric blocks with different sizes spread throughout the greater part of the karyotype. NORs were identified in only one chromosome pair and were coincident with the fluorescent in situ hybridization using probes of 18S rDNA, except for T. zonatus and Trichomycterus sp. that showed additional centromeric signals on the first pair and other small metacentric, respectively. FISH using the probes of 5S rDNA was differentially distributed in the different species, with one chromosome pairs detected in T. diabolus, two pairs in T. iheringi, T. zonatus and three ...
