Abstract Several individuals from distinct populations of 7 subspecies included in the Triturus alpestris complex have been analysed to obtain characteristic C-banding patterns. The differences found among the populations as regards the amount, complexity and distribution of heterochromatin bands have been employed to test a pattern of chromosome evolution. Relevant similarities and dissimilarities of these populations are discussed in the light of the tentative evolutionary history inferred from a rooted tree.
