Hapalemur meridionalis

Animalia, Lemuridae, VU

Hapalemur meridionalis was first proposed as a subspecies of H. griseus by Warter et al. (1987), based on cytogenetic studies as well as differences in body size and coloration. It is similar in size to Hapalemur griseus griseus and Hapalemur griseus gilberti, with a total length of 65–68 cm and a body weight of 840–870 g (Rabarivola et al., 2007; C. P. Groves, pers. comm.). Its coat color, however, is apparently darker and redder, the ears are longer, and the tail is shorter (Groves, 2001). Mutschler (2000) also found that the vocalizations of Hapalemur meridionalis distinguish it from Hapalemur populations to the north. In Andringitra National Park, this species is sympatric with Hapalemur aureus and Prolemur simus (Wright, 1992; Sterling and Ramoroson, 1996; Goodman et al., 2001). \([\dots]\) https://lemursofmadagascar.com
