aus lepidus und Lemur sprachwidrig Lepilemur gebildet und A. Wagner in 
seinem neuen Supplement 8. 147 deshalb den neuen Namen (raleocebus einge- 
führt. Es würde die Synonymie ungeheuer vermehren, sollten für die falsch 
gebildeten Namenüberall neue eingeführt werden, es liegt doch wahrlich viel 
niiher einfach den Fehler su verbessern."  (6GrEBEL.)
