Lepilemur wrightae Louis et al., 2006

Lepilemur wrightae is a large sportive lemur, notable for its sexual dimorphism, which is so far unique in this genus. The head-body length is 24–26 cm, the tail length is 25–26 cm, the total length is 49–52 cm, and the body weight is 950–1,100 g (Louis et al., 2006b). In both sexes the dorsum is a diffuse, reddish-brown and gray color and the underside a lighter grayish-brown. The head of the female, however, is a sharply contrasting uniform gray, whereas in the male the head and upper body are similarly colored. Moreover, in some females there is a slight color change around the face that forms a mask-like appearance. The ears in both males and females have minimal to short fur and are lighter in color (Louis et al., 2006b; Lei et al., 2008).
