<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>The hairy-eared dwarf lemur, <em>Allocebus</em>, is a small-bodied (less than 500 g) cheirogaleid found in Madagascar. They get their name from their ear tufts. <em>Allocebus</em> is distinguished from other cheirogaleids by the morphology of their auditory (ear) region. <em>Allocebus</em>
has a tympanic ring that is fused to wall of the bulla instead of a
free tympanic ring like other cheirogaleids. Not much is known of its
natural behavior.</p>
