Komba minor

Mammals

Komba minor is an extinct galago, a member of the primate family Galagidae, placed in the genus Komba. It was described by Le Gros Clark and Thomas in 1952, in the same year and by the same authors as Komba robustus, and the Paleobiology Database lists it in the same genus. The genus is known from the early to middle Miocene of Kenya and Uganda, but the sources read do not say which of those countries, or which part of the Miocene, this particular species comes from, and the Paleobiology Database holds no occurrence record for it. Only its name, author, date, genus and family are firmly stated, so nothing is said here of its size, diet or habits.
