Abstract
This study confirms, on the basis of our molecular biology results and in accordance with cytogenetic, morphological and ethological data, the specific status ofHapalemur aureus. Furthermore, it appears clearly thatHapalemr simus began its differentiation fromHapalemur griseus griseus andHapalemur aureus (wich have a common branch) shortly after the separation ofLemur catta from the phylogenetic tree of theL. catta/ Hapalemur group.
