“…Within the slow and pygmy lorises, there are currently nine species recognized across South and Southeast Asia [ 4 , 7 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], including the greater slow loris ( Nycticebus coucang ), the Bengal slow loris ( Nycticebus bengalensis ), the Javan slow loris ( Nycticebus javanicus ), the Bornean slow loris ( Nycticebus borneanus ), the Philippine slow loris ( Nycticebus menagensis ), the Kayan slow loris ( Nycticebus kayan ), the Sumatran slow loris ( Nycticebus hilleri ), and Sody’s slow loris ( Nycticebus bancanus ). A new genus name was recently proposed for the ninth species, the pygmy loris ( Xanthonycticebus pygmaeus ; [ 18 ]). Most molecular analyses to date consistently support five of the species, X. pygmaeus, N. coucang, N. menagensis, N. javanicus and N. bengalensis , as reciprocally monophyletic (e.g., [ 17 , 21 ]), but the geographic sampling of molecular studies within each of these taxa has not been sufficient to date to validate the morphologically based findings of Munds et al [ 16 ] demonstrating the distinction of N. bancanus, N. borneanus and N. kayan , or Nekaris and Jaffe [ 20 ]’s support for N. hilleri.…”
