Type Locality: Angola: Cuvo Bay.

Vernacular Names: Silvery Greater Galago.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Otolemur monteiri subsp. monteiri Bartlett 1863

Subspecies Otolemur monteiri subsp. argentatus Lönnberg 1913

Distribution: Brachystegia woodland, from Angola to Tanzania to W Kenya and Rwanda.

Discussion: Separated from crassicaudatus by Groves (2001 c), with some misgivings. The zone of intermediacy with O. crassicaudatus is very wide, extending through S Malawi, N Mozambique, and part of Zimbabwe. Kingdon (1997) recognized Otolemur argentatus from the Lake Victoria region, while retaining southerly examples (here Otolemur m. monteiri ) in O. crassicaudatus .
