Monatsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, p. 473

Current valid name: Galago moholi Smith, 1836 View in CoL

Syntypes: ZMB 325 , female, skull, skin, skeleton in alcohol (= An 14943); ZMB 1242 , male, adult, in alcohol; Tette, Mossambique [Tete, Mozambique]; collected by Peters between 1843 and 1847 .

Comment : Peters (1852, p. 11), originally classified this species as Otolicnus senegalensis Geoffroy and revised this view in 1876. In Mozambique, as can be seen from the 1852 publication, more than 2 specimens were collected. The whereabouts of further specimens is unknown.
