Bioko Allen's bushbaby (Sciurocheirus alleni), also known as the Bioko squirrel galago, is a species of primate in the galago family found in Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.[2] The bushbaby is currently near-threatened, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[2]
Taxonomy
Originally described as Galago alleni by Waterhouse (1838), the species was placed in a separate genus, Sciurocheirus by Gray in 1863.[3] The species was split into three subspecies, alleni, cameronensis, and gabonensis by Eisentraut (1973) and Groves (1989)[4] which were then later elevated to species status by Groves (2001) and followed by Groves (2005) and Nekaris (2013).[1][3]
