Abstract
Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) polymorphism in 23 species of 13 genera of New World monkeys was investigated. The occurrence of 21 cod ominant autosome alleles may explain the total electrophoretic variati on encountered. The only alleles shared by two or more genera were PGD 11 and PGD*15, the former grouping Aotus, Cacajao, Chiropotes, Saimir i, Cebuella, Callithrix and Saguinus, and the latter Alouatta, Lagothr ix, Callicebus and Cebus. The intergeneric groupings obtained are comp ared with the most recent taxonomic classifications for the New World monkeys.
