Abstract
Southern Victorian populations of Rhytidoponera metallica have n = 22 to 17, with progressive replacement of two acrocentrics at a time by a metacentric to yield numbers lower than 22 (nombre fondamentale = 23). A further collection with n = 12 represents either a further reduction in this Robertsonian system or a sibling species. Related species have n = 21 (victoriae) and 23 (tasmaniensis).Keywords
