Abstract excerpt
Cytogenetic investigations using differential staining (C-, replication R-banding and Ag-NOR staining) were performed in the two known species of the microteiid lizards of the genus Micrablepharus: M. maximiliani and M. atticolus. M. atticolus showed diploid number variation (2n = 50, 51, 52, 53) due to a system of supernumerary chromosomes which presented late replication patterns and differences in morphology...
