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

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.This study was supported by Grant No. 82-34 of the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (Z.W.O.).
