The Bemanasy mouse lemur, Microcebus manitatra, is a species of
Boraha mouse lemur, and Ganzhorn's mouse lemur.[3] Morphological similarity made it impossible to identify them as distinct species. A genetic study was done in collaboration with scientists at the University of Kentucky, the Duke Lemur Center and the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar. The mtDNA sequencing revealed that the species was unique.[4]
