Taxonomy. Lepilemur hollandorum Ramaromilanto et al, 2009 View in CoL ,
Madagascar, province of Toamasina, Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve (c.16° 18° S, 49° 47 E).
This species is monotypic.
Distribution. NE Madagascar, known only from the Mananara-Nord region, with the only confirmed reports coming from the Ivontaka-Sud and Verezanantsoro (Ambinanibeorana) parcels of the Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve. The N and S limits of the range have not been defined, but they are tentatively assumed to be S of the Fahambahy or Mananara rivers and N of the Simianona, Sandratsio, or Maningory rivers, respectively. Additional surveys are required to determine the full extent of the distribution. View Figure
