Cytogenetic study of Cercopithecus pogonias grayi x Cercopithecus ascanius katangae hybrids.
The G-banded karyotypes of a male and a female hybrid born of the cross between a Cercopithecus pogonias grayi (2 n = 72 XY) and a C. ascanius katangae (2 n = 66 XX) are reported. The constant chromosome number 2 n = 69 of both the male and female hybrids equals the arithmetic mean of the parental chromosome. A correlation between the hybrid karyotypes and those of their parents is proposed. The typical acrocentric autosomes of C. pogonias grayi are found again in the offspring.
