GENUS Galago

Author:É. Geoffroy, 1796.
Citation:Mag. Encyclop., 1: 49.
Type Species:Galago senegalensis É. Geoffroy, 1796.
Comments:McKenna and Bell (1997) included Otolemur as a synonym. Groves (2001c) 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.
