Galagos (bushbabies) are distributed over most of sub-saharan Africa in savannahs, woodlands and forests. In contrast to most species of diurnal primates, which generally look very different from one another, galagos may appear almost identical (cryptic) although they do not interbreed. This is because they utilise primarily vocal and olfactory modes of communication rather than visual cues for recognition of potential mates [1]. The possible existence of unrecognised galago species is…

It is argued that the number of species of nocturnal primates has been seriously underestimated and that similarlooking populations frequently belong to different species which have yet to be investigated.
