SPECIES Galago demidoff

Author:G. Fischer, 1806.
Citation:Mem. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscow, 1: 24.
Common Name:Prince Demidoff’s Bushbaby
Type Locality:Senegal.
Distribution:Senegal to E Dem. Rep. Congo; Bioko (Equatorial Guinea).
Status:CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:G. demidoff species group. Bearder et al. (1995) placed this group in genus Galagoides, but Groves (2001c) and Delpero et al. (2000) considered this premature, as it is unclear how species should be assorted between Galagoides and Galago. Nash et al. (1989) recognized G. thomasi, Elliot, 1907, as a full species, partially sympatric with demidoff; followed by Groves (2001c), who considered that a number of other species would eventually be recognized in addition. For use of demidoff in place of demidovii, see Jenkins (1987:98).
