Discussion: G. demidoff species group. Bearder et al. (1995) placed this group in genus Galagoides , but Groves (2001 c) and Delpero et al. (2000) considered this premature, as it is unclear how species should be assorted between Galagoides and Galago . Nash et al. (1989) recognized G. thomasi, Elliot, 1907 , as a full species, partially sympatric with demidoff ; followed by Groves (2001 c), who considered that a number of other species would eventually be recognized in addition. For use of demidoff in place of demidovii , see Jenkins (1987:98).
