LEMURIFORMES Gray 1821

Families: 4 families with 14 genera and 59 species:

Family Cheirogaleidae Gray 1872 (5 genera with 21 species)

Family Lemuridae Gray 1821 (5 genera with 19 species and 7 subspecies)

Family Lepilemuridae Gray 1870 (1 genus with 8 species)

Family Indridae Burnett 1828 (3 genera with 11 species and 6 subspecies)

Discussion: All Malagasy lemur families, with the possible exception of Daubentoniidae , form a monophyletic clade (reviewed in Groves, 2001 c). As the families within this clade themselves fall into two groups, it is convenient to recognize infraorders as well as superfamilies.
