724:), and it looks like things may be far more complicated; some Pen Malaysian sequences clustered with Bornean ones (perhaps suggesting sympatric cryptic diversity) and there are six major clades that could conceivably be separate species. Clearly we don't know much yet about the real diversity of Sunda colugos.

Welcome to the world of "mammals-that-are-almost-like-us-but-not-quite-simian-enough-to-merit-serious-research-by-a-lot-of-people". Â ;-) This is why I devote myself to lemuriforms and monitor treeshrew and colugo articles, but not simian articles. If only we knew more about these amazing mammals,

How many of those results for "flying lemur" pertain to the actual animal, and not the creature from the popular children's show Avatar: The Last

Flying Lemur Called
Another Close Relative Of Humans] - a 2002 article, which claims that based on mitochondrial DNA studies, colugos should be classed as primates, and are actually quite closely related to humans (not as close as apes, but closer than other primates).

Unfortunately, they didn't name these new species in the article, so someone will have to go digging to see if that's been done yet (and whether or not its been upheld). For now, all we can note is that two new species may have been found in 2008 and cite that source.

Obviously this discussion is old but I added a reference with the direct MSW3 link to the family with the two genera listed, for clarity/easy finding if more people wonder about it. Could possibly be done in a smoother way but I'm short of time at the

Since the "Philippine flying lemur" and "Sunda flying lemur" are commonly known as "flying lemurs" and have "flying lemur" in their common names, why not make the title into "flying lemur" instead of "colugo"? The title is confusing.

Yes, we know that there is actually more than one species of Sunda colugo; however, the split hasn't been formalized anywhere as far as I'm aware, and we don't know what the various species should be called.

Everything looks fine, though you might make the caption on the toothcomb more general rather than listing an old genus name that's now obviously a synonym.
