Abstract The karyotype of the speciesC. nictitans stampflii was analysed with high resolution G-banding techniques and with the aid of an image analysis computer system. The diploid number is 2n=70; chromosomes n. 13 and n. 33, and the NOR-bearing chromosomes have variant forms. The high degree of chromosomal variability in the genusCercopithecus is well known, but the degree, the role, and the phylogenetic relevance of the chromosomal variants are yet to be clarified. For this reason it seems worthwile to report on the chromosomal polymorphism found in the sub-species ofC. nictitans stampflii even if the data comes from a single specimen.
