Microcebus arnholdi Louis Jr., Engberg, McGuire, McCormick, Randriamampionona, Ranaivoarisoa, Bailey, Mittermeier & Lei, 2008: 31 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Antsiranana [(sic) Province d’Antsiranana], Montagne d’Ambre National Park and Montagne d’Ambre Special Reserve (approximately 12°31'28.1"S; 049°10'22.8"E, 990 m above sea level)”.

Microcebus berthae Rasoloarison, Goodman & Ganzhorn, 2000: 1001 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Toliara, Forêt de Kirindy/CFPF, 60 km NE de Morondava, 20°04'S, 44°39'E, about 40 m above sea level”. [EN]

Microcebus bongolavensis Olivieri, Zimmermann, Randrianambinina, Rasoloharijaona, Rakotondravony, Guschanski & Radespiel, 2007: 321 View in CoL . “ Madagascar, Province of Mahajanga, a forest fragment (S15°29’54”; E47°28’47”) belonging to the village Ambodimahabibo near Port-Bergé”. [DD]

Microcebus danfossi Olivieri, Zimmermann, Randrianambinina, Rasoloharijaona, Rakotondravony, Guschanski & Radespiel, 2007: 322 View in CoL . “ Madagascar, Province of Mahajanga, a forest fragment (S 14°56’29”; E 47°42’44”) belonging to the village Ambarijeby (between Analalava and Antsohihy)”. [DD]

Microcebus jollyae Louis Jr., Coles, Andriantompohavana, Sommer, Engberg, Zaonarivelo, Mayor & Brenneman, 2006: 382 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Fianarantsoa, Kianjavato, S21º22’825”, E047º52’050” at 71 m above sea level”. [DD]

Microcebus lehilahytsara Roos & Kappeler, 2005: 20 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province Toamasina, Andasibe (18°55’S, 48°25’E)”. [DD]

Microcebus lokobensis Olivieri, Zimmermann, Randrianambinina, Rasoloharijaona, Rakotondravony, Guschanski & Radespiel, 2007: 323 . “ Madagascar, Province of Mahajanga, from the forest fragment near the village of Ampasimpohy (S 13°23’24”; E 48°20’31”) which is the border of the Integrated Nature Reserve of Lokobe on the island of Nosy Be”.

Remarks: Olivieri et al. (2007) described the form M. lokobensis from Nosy Be. However, the type localities of M. lokobensis and M. mamiratra are the same, and the descriptions of the two forms are identical. Since M. mamiratra has priority, M. lokobensis is considered a junior synonym (see Mittermeier et al. 2008 for further discussion).

Microcebus macarthurii Radespiel, Olivieri, Rasolofoson, Rakotondratsimba, Rakotonirainy, Rasoloharijoana, Randrianambinina, Ratsimbazafy, Ratelolahay, Randriamboavonjy, Rasolofoharivelo, Craul, Rakotozafy & Randrianarison, 2008: 1044 View in CoL . “Anjiahely (S15º24’22.5”, E49º29’54.3”), in a savoka at about 380m a.s.l., close to the village Anjiahely, about 26km west of Maroantsetra, Province of Antsiranana, Madagascar ”.

Microcebus mamiratra Andriantompohavana, Zaonarivelo, Engberg, Randriamampionona, McGuire, Shore, Rakotonomenjanahary, Brenneman & Louis Jr., 2006: 14 View in CoL . “ MADAGASCAR: Province de Antsiranana [(sic) Province d’Antsiranana], Nosy Be, Lokobe Special Reserve (approximately 13º24’16.9”S, 048º18’11.2”E at 13m.)”. [DD]

Remarks: M. lokobensis , also described from Nosy Be, is now considered a synonym of M. mamiratra .

Microcebus margotmarshae Louis Jr., Engberg, McGuire, McCormick, Randriamampionona, Ranaivoarisoa, Bailey, Mittermeier & Lei, 2008: 30 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Antsiranana [(sic) Province d’Antsiranana], Antafondro Classified Forest Special Reserve (approximately 14°02'44.5"S, 48°13'23.4"E, 134 m above sea level)”.

Microcebus mittermeieri Louis Jr., Coles, Andriantompohavana, Sommer, Engberg, Zaonarivelo, Mayor & Brenneman, 2006: 381 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Antsiranana, Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve, S14º47’772”, E049º28’411” at 1056 m above sea level”. [DD]

Microcebus ravelobensis Zimmermann, Ehresmann, Zietemann, Radespiel, Randrianambinina & Rakotoarison, 1997: 26 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Mahajanga, Réserve Forestière ( RF) d’Ankarafantsika, Station Forestière d’Ampijoroa, Jardin Botanique B, 16°35'S, 46°52'E, about 200 m above sea level”. [EN]

Remarks: Although Zimmermann et al. (1998) gave a full description of this species, and despite the justification put forth by Rasoloarison et al. (2000), Groves (2001) pointed out that “the first introduction of the name in Zimmermann et al. (1997) had ‘characters purporting to differentiate the taxon’ and that, therefore, the name is available.” Zimmermann et al. (1997, 1998) indicated that the type locality is “ Madagascar: 2 km north of Ampijoroa, 16°35'S, 46°82' [sic] E”. However, Rasoloarison et al. (2000) indicated that the description was based on two captive animals, which would be preserved as voucher material upon their death. Although the animals have since died, no voucher material exists. Rasoloarison et al. (2000) designated a neotype (neotype locality given above). They suggested that the coordinates given in Zimmermann et al. (1998) are incorrect, owing to a typographical error (52'E, not 82'E).

Microcebus sambiranensis Rasoloarison, Goodman & Ganzhorn, 2000: 982 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Mahajanga, Réserve Spéciale (RS) de Manongarivo, Forêt de Bekolosy, 2.3 km E de Beraty, 14°02'S, 48°16'E, about 360 m above sea level”. [EN]

Microcebus simmonsi Louis Jr., Coles, Andriantompohavana, Sommer, Engberg, Zaonarivelo, Mayor & Brenneman, 2006: 383 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province de Tamatave, Betampona Special Reserve, S17º55’871”, E049º12’200” at 956 m above sea level”. [DD]

Microcebus tavaratra Rasoloarison, Goodman & Ganzhorn, 2000: 977 View in CoL . “ Madagascar: Province d’Antsiranana, Réserve Spéciale (RS) de l’Ankarana, Campement des Anglais, 9 km NO de Mahamasina, 13°05'S, 49°06'E, about 180 m above sea-level”. [EN]

Mirza zaza Kappeler & Roos, 2005: 18. “ Madagascar: Province d’Ansiranana, "Baie de Pasandava" [= Ampasindava], Congoni (13°40'S, 48°15'E)”. [DD]

Phaner furcifer electromontis Groves & Tattersall, 1991: 47. “ Madagascar: Montagne d’Ambre (Ambohitra), approximately 12°40'S, 49°10'E)”.

Remarks: Included in P. f u rc i f e r ( Blainville, 1839: Osteogr. Mamm., Primates , p. 35) by Groves (1993), who later (2001) treated it as a distinct species under the Phylogenetic Species Concept; see also Mittermeier et al. 2008).

Phaner furcifer pallescens Groves & Tattersall, 1991: 47. “ Madagascar: Tabiky (22°10'S, 44°15'E), ca. 20 km NW of Ankazoabo”.

Remarks: Included in P. f u rc i f e r ( Blainville, 1839: Osteogr. Mamm., Primates , p. 35) by Groves (1993), who later (2001) treated it as a distinct species under the Phylogenetic Species Concept; see also Mittermeier et al. 2008).

Remarks: Included in P. f u rc i f e r ( Blainville, 1839: Osteogr. Mamm., Primates , p. 35) by Groves (1993), who later (2001) treated it as a distinct species under the Phylogenetic Species Concept; see also Mittermeier et al. 2008).
