Chromosome studies ofCebus apella: The standard karyotype ofCebus apella paraguayanus, Fischer, 1829

Abstract
Chromosome studies were performed on 40 specimens identified as Cebus apella paraguayanus, Fischer, 1829, which had been wild‐caught in Santa Catalina (Republic of Paraguay). Elongated chromosome spreads obtained from lymphocyte cultures were sequentially stained with different techniques, and a constant pattern of 382 bands was identified in all specimens. A standard karyotype based on the measurements of the total chromosome length and the G‐Q banding pattern is proposed.
