Its range is in Indonesia in the southwestern peninsula of the island of Sulawesi, near Makassar. At one point the taxon was downgraded to a junior synonym of the spectral tarsier (T. tarsier). However, when that species' range was restricted to the population on a single island near Sulawesi, this nomen was resurrected to contain the remainder of that species.[1] Taxonomic confusionThe taxonomy of the tarsiers from Sulawesi has long been confused.[2] T. fuscus was initially described by Fischer in 1804.[2] The species was subsequently renamed twice inadvertently, as T. fuscomanus in 1812 by Geoffroy and as T. fischeri in 1846 by Burmeister.[2] In 1953 William Charles Osman Hill concluded that the type locality of T. spectrum was actually Makassar, although it was stated to have come from Ambon.[2] As a result, Hill concluded that T. fuscus was a junior synonym of T. spectrum.[2] T. spectrum was later determined to be a junior synonym of T. tarsier.[3] In 2010, Groves restricted T. tarsier to just those tarsiers on the island of Selayar, making the name T. fuscus valid once again for the tarsiers near Makassar.[1] DescriptionTarsius fuscus has generally reddish-brown fur.[1] The hair at the end of the tail is black.[1] It has shorter skull and shorter toothrows than most other tarsiers.[1] It also has shorter hind feet than other tarsiers.[1] The tail is shorter relative to body size than most tarsiers, representing 143% to 166% of the body length.[1]Natural historyAll Tarsius species are nocturnal and arboreal.[14] Like all Tarsius, T. fuscus is exclusively carnivorous and insectivorous, generally capturing prey by leaping on it.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite journal | last1 = Groves | first1 = C. | last2 = Shekelle | first2 = M. | title = The Genera and Species of Tarsiidae | journal = International Journal of Primatology | volume = 31 | issue = 6 | pages = 1071–1082 | year = 2010 | url = http://www.springerlink.com/content/j3712t1357863121/fulltext.pdf | format = PDF | doi = 10.1007/s10764-010-9443-1}} {{Tarsiidae nav}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q7686752}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|title=Tarsiers: past, present, and future|author=Groves, C.|chapter=The Tarsiers of Sulawesi|pages=179–180|publisher=Rutgers University Press|year=2003|isbn=9780813532363}} 3. ^{{MSW3 Groves|pages=128|id=12100176}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|title=Tarsiers: past, present, and future|author=Schwartz, J.H.|chapter=How Close Are the Similarities between Tarsius and Other Primates|pages=50–51|publisher=Rutgers University Press|year=2003|isbn=9780813532363}} 5 : Tarsiers|Endemic fauna of Indonesia|Mammals of Sulawesi|Primates of Indonesia|Mammals described in 1804 |
