Discussion: McKenna and Bell (1997) included Otolemur as a synonym. Groves (2001 c) accepted the following species groups: (1) C. senegalensis group (senagalensis, moholi , gallarum ), (2) G. matschiei group (monotypic), (3) G. alleni group ( alleni , cameronensis , gabonensis ), (4) G. zanzibaricus group ( zanzibaricus , granti , nyasae ), (5) G. orinus group ( orinus , rondoensis ), and (6) G. demidoff group ( demidoff , thomasi ). DelPero et al. (2000) suggested that the G. alleni group should be reallocated to Otolemur .
