Zusammenfassung

Die Karyotypen vonCallosciurus notatus, C. finlaysoni undC. flavimanus besitzen alle 2n=40 Chromosomen: 6 metazentrisch, 10 submetazentrisch und 3 akrozentrisch. Eines der akrozentrischen Paare trägt einen auffälligen Satelliten; akrozentrische Satellitenchromosomen vonCallosciurus undXerus rutilus besitzen identische G-Bandmuster. Akrozentrische Chromosomen mit Satelliten wurden auch von den CallosciurinenDremomys rufigenis und der XerineSpermophilopsis leptodactylus beschrieben.
