title: Banding patterns of the chromosomes of Nycticebus coucang (Boddaert, 1785).
abstract: Q, G and C banding studies of the chromosomes of Nycticebus coucang permitted the identification of all pairs in the complement. The X was a long submetacentric, the Y a rather long metacentric. All members of the complement were non-acrocentrics. The differences between the 2n = 52 and the 2n = 50 karyotypes described in this species may be due to a centric translocation mechanism.
