Distribution of slow loris forms

Nycticebus bengalensis
Intermediate bengalensis-coucang (synonym / subpopulation: N. c. tenasserimensis)
Nycticebus coucang coucang
Nycticebus coucang menagensis
Nycticebus coucang javanicus








All areas mentioned as distribution areas by at least one author were included. Based on data and maps by: Osman Hill 1953, Groves 1971, on the origin of museum specimens (Jenkins, 1987) and on specimen localities mentioned by other authors (see specimen list) The numbers refer to numbers of localities in the specimen lists. Names of type localities (also of some older subpopulations) are underlined.
 

Slow lorises: list of origin of described animals / specimens

General distribution: based on the distribution map in Osman Hill, 1953, and Groves, 1971, corrected with regard to specimen localities. In Vietnam widely distributed in forest areas, but common only in semi-evergreen and secondary forest, distribution from the north of Lang Son province, 210 30I N 1060 20I E, to the south of Tay Ninh province, 110 43I N 1080 48I E (Huynh 1998). In China in south and west Yunnan and Guangxi (Ji, Peng 1990)

N. bengalensis (Lacépède, 1800), older synonym: N. c. bengalensis, including:
Subpopulation (synonym) N. c. bengalensis (Osman Hill 1953);
Subpopulation (synonym) N. c. tenasserimensis (Osman Hill 1953): here listed separately because this subpopulation seems to represent or include bengalensis-coucang transition forms externally differing from typical bengalensis.
Distribution: Assam, Tippera, Chittagong, Burma, Siam, Laos and Annam (Osman Hill 1953). In China in south and west Yunnan and Guangxi (Ji, Peng 1990)

113 (Catagan, Mindanao, Mt. Malindang: invalid data:    (Prior to 1906) (Groves 1971, Fooden 1991)
  Catagan erroneously regarded as Type locality of philippinus Cabrera. Early reports see below, under 114-117. A fluid-preserved slow loris of unknown origin was mislabelled with a locality label which, according to a collection list, belongs to a macaque; no slow loris was found during the collection in question in Catagan or later collections in Mindanao (Fooden 1991)
114 to 117 According to Groves (1971, quoting Cabrera 1908 and Taylor 1934) slow loris recorded from Mindanao, possibly introduced. "Early reports of Philippine slow loris specimens that allegedly were collected in Mindanao (114), Bohol (115), Leyte (116), and Samar (117) are vague and untrustworthy (Sánchez 1900, p. 181; Cabrera 1908, p. 136; Elera 1915, p. 50)" (Fooden 1991)
