| Abstract: | Controversial taxonomic relationships within Propithecus have consistently made conservation and management decisions difficult. We present a multidisciplinary phylogenetic analysis of Propithecus supporting the elevation of 4 subspecies to specific status: P. diadema perrieri  P. perrieri, P. diadema candidus P. candidus, P. diadema edwardsi P. edwardsi, and P. verreauxi coquereliP. coquereli; leaving P. diadema
diadema as P. diadema and P. verreauxi
verreauxi as P. verreauxi. |
