Molecular genetic sequence variation among the sportive lemurs (genus Lepilemur) of Madagascar was investigated utilizing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data (ca. 3,000 base pairs). We infer Lepilemur phylogenetic relationships based on the topology of mtDNA trees generated with 225 individuals from 24 currently recognized species of the genus from 43 field sites, along with a previously undefined taxon from Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve. We formally describe this new species based on genetic analyses and biogeographic information (including the recent Inter-River-Systems model), supplemented with morphological data.
