Controversial taxonomic relationships within Propithecus have consistently made conservation and management decisions difficult. We present a multidisciplinary phylogenetic analysis of Propithecus supporting the elevation of 4 subspecies to specific status: P. diadema perrieri →• P. perrieri, P. diadema candidus → P. candidus, P. diadema edwardsi → P. edwardsi, and P. verreauxi coquereli → P. coquereli; leaving P. diadema diadema as P. diadema and P. verreauxi verreauxi as P. verreauxi.
