Galagidae Gray 1825

Galagidae Gray 1825 , Ann. Philos., n. s., 10: 338.

Genera: 3 genera with 19 species:

Genus Euoticus Gray 1863 (2 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Galago E. Geoffroy 1796 (14 species with 4 subspecies)

Genus Otolemur Coquerel 1859 (3 species with 8 subspecies)

Discussion: Formerly considered a subfamily of Lorisidae ; see Hill and Meester (1977:2) and Jenkins (1987:85). The correct form of the name is Galagonidae (see Jenkins, 1987:1), but Galagidae was conserved by Opinion 1995 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (2002 a).
