So, that finishes up the sportive lemurs :p can't say I am surprised that the vast majority of species are unrepresented in the gallery, given how recently-described many of the members of this genus are, but I have to say I am a little surprised that there is only a single photograph full-stop representing the group!

Hopefully at least one or two more photographs might be uploaded in the future - one potential source for such photographs would be the fact that Red-tailed Sportive Lemur was held in a European collection in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In any case, these are the species which are currently unrepresented:
