Abstract
New evidence is described on one way crossing barriers between Aigeiros and Tacamahaca species, gained in experimental full-sib crosses. The technique of crosses and embryo rescue are described. In some crosses of questionabl e result, the embryo rescue was successful. The possible genetic mechanisms underlying the crossing barriers are discussed.
