The smallest true primate ( excluding tree shrews, which are normally classified separately) is the pygmy mouse lemur (Microcebus myoxinus,) dicovered in the deciduous forests of western Madagascar in 1993. It has a head-and-body length of about 2.4 in (62 mm), and a tail length of 5.4 in (136 mm), and an average weight of 1.1. oz (30.6g)
