Abstract
The karyotype, comprised of 62 chromosomes, of Galago crassicaudatus is described. It is compared to the karyotype of Galago senegalensis and to that of the presumed common ancestor to Lorisiforms, previously reconstructed. Most of the reconstructed chromosomes were found, unmodified, in G. crassicaudatus, strengthening the validity of the reconstruction.
