And with that, I have completed the Cheirogaleidae and hence the entirety of Lemuroidea; again, given the number of newly-described species and the fact that the members of this family are almost entirely nocturnal it is perhaps unsurprising that few are represented in the Zoochat gallery.
Nonetheless, there are a handful of species which could potentially be uploaded to the gallery in the future, whether as a result of sightings in the wild or old photographs from prior captive holdings being unearthed and scanned. As such, the species currently unrepresented in the gallery are as follows:
Furry-eared Dwarf Lemur Cheirogaleus crossleyi
Lavasoa Dwarf Lemur Cheirogaleus lavasoensis
Greater Dwarf Lemur Cheirogaleus major
Iron-gray Dwarf Lemur Cheirogaleus minusculus
Sibree's Dwarf Lemur Cheirogaleus sibreei
Arnhold's Mouse Lemur Microcebus arnholdi
Madame Berthe's Mouse Lemur Microcebus berthae
Bongolava Mouse Lemur Microcebus bongolavensis
Danfoss' Mouse Lemur Microcebus danfossi
Gerp's Mouse Lemur Microcebus gerpi
Reddish-gray Mouse Lemur Microcebus griseorufus
Jolly's Mouse Lemur Microcebus jollyae
MacArthur's Mouse Lemur Microcebus macarthurii
Claire's Mouse Lemur Microcebus mamiratra
Margot Marsh's Mouse Lemur Microcebus margotmarshae
Marohita Mouse Lemur Microcebus marohita
Mittermeier's Mouse Lemur Microcebus mittermeieri
Pygmy Mouse Lemur Microcebus myoxinus
Golden-brown Mouse Lemur Microcebus ravelobensis
Brown Mouse Lemur Microcebus rufus
Sambirano Mouse Lemur Microcebus sambiranensis
Anosy Mouse Lemur Microcebus tanosi

There is a picture of that one in the Madagascar wildlife gallery, which I took in Ankarafantsika.
I should also have a picture of a Milne-Edwards sifaka somewhere, will try to dig that one up.

Calabar Angwantibo (Arctocebus calabarensis)
The range of this species represents a patchy and localised distribution within the lowland rainforest block between the Niger River and the Sanaga River in Nigeria and Cameroon.
Monotypic.

Milne-Edwards' Potto (Perodicticus edwardsi)
The range of this species extends throughout western and central Africa, from southern Nigeria and Cameroon in the northwest, as far south as Angola and as far east as the central Democratic Republic of Congo.
Currently regarded as monotypic; however, further research may demonstrate subspecific variation within the species. The False Potto (Pseudopotto martini) is regarded as a synonym for this taxon.
