The diploid chromosome number of two specimens of Lepilemur mustelinus (I. Geoffroy 1851) is 2N = 20. All of the chromosomes, except the Y chromosome, are metacentric or submetacentric; the Y chromosome is acrocentric and is the shortest chromosome in the complement. Satellites on autosomal pair 5 provide marked chromosomes for the animals studied and may be a marked pair for the species.
