Treatment

Galago zanzibaricus Matschie 1893 , Sitzb. Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berlin: 111.

Type Locality: Tanzania, Zanzibar, Yambiani.

Vernacular Names: Zanzibar Bushbaby.

Synonyms: Galago cocos Heller 1912 ; Galago udzungwensis Honess 1997 .

Distribution: E African coast from Tana River, south to S Mozambique; Zanzibar.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: G. zanzibaricus species group. Separated from senegalensis by Kingdon (1971:309), Groves (1974 b:463, 1989:103, 2001 c), Jenkins (1987:118), and Nash et al. (1989). Bearder et al. (1995) placed this group in genus Galagoides , but Groves (2001 c) considered this premature, as it is unclear how species should be assorted between Galagoides and Galago . For allocation of udzungwensis to this species, see Groves (2001 c:116).
