Lepilemuridae Gray 1870 View in CoL , Cat. Monkeys, Lemurs, Fruit-eating Bats Brit. Mus.: 132.

Synonyms: Megaladapidae Major 1893 .

Genera: 1 genus with 8 species:

Genus Lepilemur I. Geoffroy 1851 (8 species)

Discussion: Includes many extinct (subfossil) genera, as well as Lepilemur , according to Schwartz and Tattersall (1985:20) and Groves (1989:92). Called Megaladapidae by Groves (1993, 2001 c), but Lepilemuridae takes precedence. Considered a subfamily (Lepilemurinae) of Lemuridae by McKenna and Bell (1997), but it is not clearly more related to Lemuridae than to Indridae .
