Lond., 1863: 145. | | Common Name: | Silvery Greater Galago | | Type Locality: | Angola: Cuvo Bay. | | Distribution: | Brachystegiawoodland, from Angola to Tanzania to W Kenya and Rwanda. | | Status: | CITES – Appendix II. | | Comments: | Separated from crassicaudatus by Groves (2001c), with some misgivings. The zone of intermediacy with O. crassicaudatus is very wide, extending through S Malawi, N Mozambique, and part of Zimbabwe. Kingdon (1997) recognized Otolemur argentatus from the Lake Victoria region, while retaining southerly examples (here Otolemur m. monteiri) in O. crassicaudatus. |
