Karyotypic study of a population sample of twenty‐one owl monkeys, Aotus, originating from Bolivia, revealed two sex‐specific somatic diploid chromosome numbers: 49 for males and 50 for females. The presence of a trivalent in male meiotic figures and the identification of chromosomes by band pattern analysis confirmed the interpretation of a Y‐autosome translocation in the males.
