Here we describe the behaviour of the univalent X chromosome in the wide-footed treehopper <em>Enchenopa latipes</em> (Say 1824). We confirm the chromosome number and sex determination method for this species, and that males possess a univalent X chromosome. We show that the univalent X chromosome forms a bipolar attachment to the spindle in metaphase I, and then segregates intact toward one spindle pole in late anaphase I (long after autosomes have initiated poleward movement). Movement of the univalent toward one pole is associated with loss of microtubule connections toward the opposite spindle pole.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Caryologia}, author={Felt, Kristen D. and Lagerman, Makayla B. and Maurer, Samantha and Qian, Lu and Oluwafemi, Oluwasefunmi and Pedraza-Aguado, Noemi and Stowe, Emily L. and Paliulis, Leocadia V.}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={165–171} }
