Eulemur cinereiceps

Description

Eulemur cinereiceps (A. Grandidier and Milne-Edwards 1890)

[Eulemur] cinereiceps (A. Grandidier and Milne-Edwards 1890), Hist. Nat. Madagascar, Mamm., Vol. 5: 147.

Type Locality: Madagascar, Frafafangana.

Vernacular Names: Gray-headed Lemur.

Distribution: Known only from type locality.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA – Endangered.

Discussion: Discussed by Groves (2001 c), who recognized it with a query. The two known specimens (both females) are somewhat different, and both are unlike any known taxon, although females of some taxa, such as E. albocollaris, are poorly known and proper comparison is difficult.
