Synonyms: Galeocebus Wagner 1855 ; Lepidilemur Giebel 1859 ; Mixocebus Peters 1874 .

Discussion: Revised by Petter et al. (1977:274-318). Six of the seven species are known to be karyotypically distinct. Rumpler (1975) and Corbet and Hill (1980:83) placed this genus in a subfamily of Lemuridae . Petter and Petter (1977:6) placed it in its own family Lepilemuridae . Yoder et al. (1999) considered that Lepilemur is probably not, in fact, a member of the Megaladapidae , which is based on a subfossil genus.
