We describe seven polymorphic microsatellites isolated from a Japanese macaque ( Macaca fuscata ) genomic library selected for (GT) n content. The primer sets amplified from four to 11 different alleles in a sample of 14 Japanese macaques from nine different sites along the central and southern distribution of the species. These heterologous primers also detected variability in four other cercopithecine species. Am. J. Primatol. 43:357–360, 1997. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
