Abstract Karyotypes were analyzed of 21 greater galagos, usign classical, G-banding, C-banding and silver nitrate staining techniques. A composite G-banded karyotype and high resolution idiogram are presented for each species. Areas of possible rearrangement are identified. The results support the interpretations derived from earlier, unbanded studies, rather than a more recent proposal from G-banded data. Failure of repeated attempts to obtain C-bands, despite success in human controls, indicates that the heterochromatic bands generally revealed by these staining methods are either absent or extremely small in greater galagos. Silver staining revealed a single pair of NOR-bearing autosomes in both species, as shown by previous authors.
