Resumo

The chromosomes of Bufo crucifer, B. ictericus, and B. paracnemis were studied by conventional staining as well as with C banding and NOR techniques. These species have a diploid number of 2n = 22 and identical karyotypes, composed of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. The C banding patterns and NOR data indicate that these species of Bufo are not differentiated by the distribution and amount of constitutive heterochromatin or the position of the nucleolar organizer regions.
