Jolly's mouse lemur is a species of mouse lemur from the Mananjary and Kianjavato areas of Madagascar, named in honour of the primatologist Alison Jolly. It is uniformly reddish-brown, with a small white patch on the snout and a completely gray belly. Its discovery was announced on 21 June 2006 at the Conservation International Global Symposium in Antananarivo, together with Mittermeier's mouse lemur and Simmons' mouse lemur, and the three new species were also published in the International Journal of Primatology. The Wikipedia article on it is short, so this entry records its identity, its range and the circumstances of its announcement.
