So, that's the Indriidae completed :) as expected there are a fair few big gaps where species are unrepresented; I imagine a lot of these cannot be filled, but one cannot rule out a few additions given time or a helpful Zoochatter rooting out some photographs they never got around to posting :p

Bemaraha Woolly Lemur Avahi cleesei
