From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perodicticinae is a subfamily of the family Lorisidae. It includes five species of African primates as shown under taxonomy below.
They have a vestigial tail and index finger. The snout is pointed and the ears and eyes are large. The coat is dense, brown and woolly.
Taxonomy[edit]
The false potto (Pseudopotto martini) is now thought to be a misidentified individual of a Perodicticus species.[4][5]
