This polytypic species has a complex taxonomic history. Originally, only G. senegalensis was recognized, but it was subsequently split into seven species: G. gallarum , G. moholi , G. matschiei , G. grant, G. zanzibaricus , G. cocos , and G. nyasae (not recognized here, see G. grant: taxonomy section). All taxa are distinguished by a species-specific advertisement call. Because there is considerable variation within the widespread G. senegalensis , more cryptic species may occur within this taxon. Four subspecies are recognized.

Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Northern Lesser Galago lives in large multimale-multifemale groups of up to nine members (usually 2-5) for much of the year. They are led by an alpha male. Several individuals will commonly sleep together by day. Their sleeping sites range from near the ground to 10 m up in the forest canopy and include tree holes in hollow rotten branches or boles, forks of trees, unoccupied man-made beehives with or without nest material, and self-constructed leaf nests, which they take 30 minutes to construct. They have been known to use wooden nest boxes placed for birds. During the mating season, groups break up into temporary breeding pairs that go off to live on their own. Individuals forage singly or in groups of up to three. The Northern Lesser Galago produces 18 different calls. The loud, low-pitched woo advertisement call is the most distinctive and species-specific.
