Komba walkeri is an extinct galago, a member of the primate family Galagidae, placed in the genus Komba. It was described from the early Miocene of Kenya by Terry Harrison in 2010, and it is the species that the English Wikipedia article on the genus names. The genus as a whole is known from the early to middle Miocene of Kenya and Uganda, and the Paleobiology Database credits the species to Harrison in 2010 but holds no occurrence record for it. The sources read give its author, date, age and country but no measurements, diet or habits, so those are left unstated.
