Abstract The R‐banded karyotypes of two Indriidae, Propithecus diadema and Indri indri , are described and compared with each other and with those of the other species of this family, previously reported, Avahi laniger and Propithecus verreauxi . These comparisons show that 30 chromosomal rearrangements, including 21 Robertsonian translocations and eight pericentric inversions, differentiate these karyotypes. A phylogenic diagram is proposed, showing the early separation of Avahi and the relatively late divergence of the three other species. A populational evolution has occurred between the three other species, but Indri is clearly separated from the two other species by at least five complex rearrangements, although it shares four Robertsonian translocations with P. verreauxi but not P. diadema .
