The karyotype of Galago alleni Waterhouse 1837 (2N=40), compared with that of Galago senegalensis Geoffroy 1796 (2N=38) (primates, prosimii, Galagidae)

  • Published:
Genetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

In a broader project on the cytogenetics of the Galagidae the chromosomal complement of a female Galago alleni was studied. The karyotype, consisting of 40 chromosomes, is described and compared with the karyotype found in three individuals of Galago senegalensis with 38 chromosomes.
