The primate infraorder Lorisiformes is composed of two families: Lorisidae (lorises, pottos, and angwantibos) and Galagidae (galagos i.e. bushbabies). The taxonomic division between the Lorisiformes and Lemuriformes (lemurs) has been questioned in the past, though more recent morphological and molecular studies uphold the separate monophyly of these two groups (Perelman et al., 2011; Roos et al., 2004; Stanger-Hall, 1997). Lorisids are nocturnal primates found throughout Africa and Asia. Lorisiformes are one infraorder contained within the suborder Strepsirrhini.
Lorisoidea is a superfamily of nocturnal primates found throughout Africa and Asia. Members include the galagos and the lorisids.[2]: 34–35 As strepsirrhines, lorisoids are related to the lemurs of Madagascar and are sometimes included in the infraorder Lemuriformes,[3][a] although they are also sometimes placed in their own infraorder, Lorisiformes Gregory, 1915.[2]: 38
