Abstract
A composite idiogram is presented for four species of marmosets (Callithricidae): Callithrix jacchus, Tamarinus mystax, Tamarinus nigricollis and Cebuella pygmaea. Similarities and differences are indicated where they exist in the idiograms. Analysis of the chromosome complement of C. pygmaea indicates that centric fusion between two chromosomes may have occurred during the evolution of this species.Keywords
