High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The False Potto (Pseudopotto martini) is a strepsirrhine primate from the Lorisidae family, very similar in anatomy and appearance to the Potto (Perodicticus potto). The classification of the False Potto into its own genus (Pseudopotto) and species was proposed in 1996 by Jeffrey Schwartz of the American Museum of Natural History. Schwartz had been studying skeletons labelled Perodicticus potto at the University of Zurich when he realised that two of them had characteristics different from the Potto skeletons. They lacked the Potto's distinctive spiny vertebrae and had longer premolars, shorter third molars and a slightly longer tail. The skeletons were also much smaller than those of most Pottos, but had been collected in a region where the largest Potto individuals are found. Schwartz named the species martini in honour of Robert Martin, a leader in prosimian study who taught at the University of Zurich.
