Grewcock's sportive lemur (Lepilemur grewcockorum), also called the Anjiamangirana sportive lemur, is a medium-sized sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has a total length of about 55 to 63 cm, of which 26 to 30 cm is tail, and lives in the dry deciduous forests of northwestern Madagascar. It was first named Lepilemur grewcocki, but the name was found to be incorrectly formed and was corrected in 2009. It was also found to be synonymous with the Manasamody sportive lemur, because the sampling sites of the two were within 2 km of each other and no geographic barrier could be identified.
