| Abstract: | Almost 50 years after its discovery, a cranium from the early Miocene of Rusinga Island, Kenya, is designated the type specimen
for a new lorisid species in the genusMioeuoticus. This new species differs fromMioeuoticus bishopi in a number of dental attributes. Several cranial features place this species in Lorisidae, where it may represent the sister
group to living lorises. |
