List of lorisoids

Members of this superfamily are called lorisoids, and include lorises, angwantibos, pottos, galagos, and bushbabies.

Lorisoids primarily eat fruit, insects, and tree gums and resins.

Most lorisoids do not have population estimates, but the ones that do range from 40 mature individuals to 500,000.

Six species are categorized as endangered: the Bengal, pygmy, Sumatran, and Sunda slow lorises, the red slender loris, and the Rondo dwarf galago.

The thirty-five extant species of Lorisoidea are divided into two families: Galagidae, containing nineteen bushbaby and galago species divided between six genera, and Lorisidae, containing sixteen species divided between the three genera in the loris subfamily Lorisinae and the two genera of the angwantibo and potto subfamily Perodicticinae.

Several extinct prehistoric lorisoid species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed.

[1] Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted.

The superfamily Lorisoidea consists of two extant families: Galagidae and Lorisidae.
