Between 2000 and 2009, a population of dwarf lemur was known as a separate species, the '''southern fat-tailed dwarf lemur''' ('''''Cheirogaleus adipicaudatus''''').  It was described by taxonomist [[Colin Groves]] as having a [[pelage]] coloration that is dark [[dorsum (biology)|dorsally]] and gray [[ventral]]ly, with a vaguely expressed dorsal stripe running down the back, a relatively short white median facial stripe, and black eye-rings.<ref name=Groves>{{cite journal | last = Groves | first = Colin | author-link = Colin Groves | year = 2000 | title = The genus Cheirogaleus: Unrecognized biodiversity in dwarf lemurs | journal = International Journal of Primatology | volume = 21 | issue = 6 | pages = 943–962 | doi = 10.1023/A:1005559012637| s2cid = 6657094 }}</ref>  However, in 2009, Groeneveld ''et al.'' demonstrated genetically that ''Cheirogaleus adipicaudatus'' was a synonym of ''Cheirogaleus medius'', so the southern fat-tailed dwarf lemur is no longer recognized as a species.<ref name="LoM3">{{LoM3|page=183}}</ref><ref name="2009_Groeneveld_etal">{{cite journal | last1 = Groeneveld | first1 = L.F. | last2 = Weisrock | first2 = D.W. | last3 = Rasoloarison | first3 = R.M. | last4 = Yoder | first4 = A.D. | last5 = Kappeler | first5 = P.M. | title = Species delimitation in lemurs: multiple genetic loci reveal low levels of species diversity in the genus Cheirogaleus | journal = BMC Evolutionary Biology | year = 2009 | volume = 9 | number = 30 | url= | doi = 10.1186/1471-2148-9-30 | pmid=19193227 | pmc=2652444 | pages=30 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
