lorises  

Definición

  • Four genera of lorises have traditionally been identified: Perodicticus (potto) and Arctocebus (angwantibo) of sub-Saharan Africa, Loris (slender loris) of Sri Lanka (and possibly also India), and Nycticebus (slow loris) of southeastern mainland Asia as well as Borneo and Sumatra. Again traditionally, taxonomists have generally recognized only two species ofNycticebus (N. coucangand N. pygmaeus) while maintaining that the other genera are monotypic.
