Abstract
Three Lorisidae species (12 specimens in all) were studied cytologically: Arctocebus calabarensis, Nycticebus coucang and Perodicticus potto. Descriptions are given of the karyotypes found in these species and idiograms are presented. These data are compared with those previously reported while also the data available for the remaining two species of the family (Loris tardigradus and Nycticebus pygmaeus) are reviewed. Generally only minor differences exist between the results of this study and those of previous ones. One specimen of N. coucang however showed 52 chromosomes instead of the common diploid number of 50. In P. potto special attention was drawn to a marked system of chromosome associations.
