This is the southern Indian species of Loris, which has always 

 been called L. tardigradus, authors ignoring the fact, as has already 

 been shown, that Linnaeus gave that name to the Loris of Ceylon. Dr. 

 Cabrera corrected the error (1. c.) into which Mr. Lydekker fell, and 

 gave to the Indian animal the name lydekkerianus.
