REMARK

All the above-mentioned specimens were identified as Galagoides demidoff . In addition, this species was the only Galagoides species identified in Togo by Masters & Couette (2015) on the basis of morphometric analysis of craniodental characters. Nonetheless, G. demidoff would not occur in Togo and in the Dahomey Gap according to Oates (2011), where it should be present instead of Galagoides thomasi (Elliot, 1907) (see below). In Togo, G. demidoff occurs both in the moist forests of EZ IV and in the dry forests of the southern and central part of the country.

REMARK This species occurs in the country according to Oates (2011), Ambrose & Butynski (2013) and IUCN (2014), in sympatry with G. demidoff .
