Tarsius

provided by wikipedia EN

Tarsius is a genus of tarsiers, small primates native to islands of Southeast Asia. Until 2010, all tarsier species were typically assigned to this genus, but a revision of the family Tarsiidae restored the generic status of Cephalopachus and created a new genus Carlito.[1]

All members of Tarsius are found on Sulawesi, while Cephalopachus is found on Sundaland and Carlito in Greater Mindanao.

Species

Colin Groves and Myron Shekelle's 2010 revision of the family Tarsiidae recognized the following eight or nine extant species of Tarsius, being unsure as to whether T. pumilus was valid:

The following two species were described by Shekelle Groves, and colleagues in 2017:[2]

In 2019 another species was described by Shekelle and colleagues:[3]

As of 2018, Fossilworks also recognizes the following additional extinct species:[4]
