Abstract
Chromosome complements of three species of Callithricidae, Saguinus oedipus, Saguinus fuscicollis and Callithrix jacchus, were analyzed by various banding techniques. Morphometric data are presented. A diploid chromosome number of 2n = 46 is reconfirmed for all three species. Several interesting interspecies chromosomal variations were demonstrated by G- and C-band patterns. Active nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) were revealed by the Ag-AS silver histochemical stain.Keywords
