ロリス

A loris (Lemur tardigradus, now Loris tardigradus), predating the 10th edition of Systema Naturæ.

Examples :

"In old zoology books, you might find the slender loris mistakenly called a "lemur," reflecting a usage common before modern classifications. "

古い動物学の本では、細いロリスが誤って「ロリス」と呼ばれているのを見つけるかもしれませんが、これは現代の分類以前の一般的な用法を反映しています。
