Galago orinus Lawrence and Washburn 1936

Description

Galago orinus Lawrence and Washburn 1936

Galago orinus Lawrence and Washburn 1936, Occas. Pap. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., 8: 259.

Type Locality: Tanzania, Uluguru Mtns, Bagilo.

Vernacular Names: Uluguru Bushbaby.

Distribution: High elevations in Uluguru and probably Usambara Mtns.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Data Deficient.

Discussion: G. orinus species group. Bearder et al. (1995) place this group in genus Galagoides, but Groves (2001 c) and Delpero et al. (2000) considered this premature, as it is unclear how species should be assorted between Galagoides and Galago. Separated from G. demidoff by Bearder et al. (1995), and accepted as a distinct species by Groves (2001 c).
