Galagidae

Lorisiformes are a group of primates found throughout Africa and Asia. Members of this infraorder include the galagos and the lorises. As strepsirrhines, they are related to the lemurs and the Aye-aye, but it is currently unknown if the Aye-aye is more closely related to the lemurs, or represents a form ancestral to both Lemurifores and the Loriformes species.
