Pliogalago makahmera is an extinct galagid primate, a member of the galago family Galagidae, that lived in Ethiopia during the late Zanclean stage of the Pliocene epoch. It is the only species of the genus Pliogalago, whose name marks it as a galago of the Pliocene, while the species name refers to Makah Mera, the fossil site where the type specimen was discovered. The Galagidae family article lists it, together with Laetolia sadimanensis, as one of the two fossil galagos it names. The sources read give its age, place and name but no measurements, diet or habits, so those are left unstated here.
