✦ Synopsis

We describe the C-bands in the karyotypes of Lagothrix lagothricha CURU, Cebus apella and Cebus capucinus. The C-banding patterns show both a high degree of polymorphism as well as the presence of terminal and interstitial C-bands. Varying amounts of heterochromatin result in dimorphism of some chromosome pairs. The high incidence of chromosome rearrangements found in the Cebidae may be due to the presence of terminal and interstitial C-bands.

Using G bands, some homologies between the chromosomes of Cebus apella (CAP) and human chromosomes are difficult to establish. To solve this problem, we analyzed these homologies by fluorescence in situ hybridization using human whole chromosome probes (ZOO-FISH). The results indicated that 1) the h
