title: Banded chromosomes of Galago crassicaudatus monteiri, G. c. garnetti, and a subspecific hybrid.
abstract: In this report the karyotypes of Galago crassicaudatus monteiri and G. c. garnetti are described using G-banding, Q-banding, silver staining for nucleolus organizer regions and synaptonemal complex analysis. The banded chromosomes of the two subspecies are compared with each other and with a hybrid between the two subspecies. Allowing for pericentric inversions of seven autosomal pairs, the banded chromosomes of the two subspecies are indistinguishable. Comparisons with the karyotype of Cheirogaleus medius have been made.
