  Comparative Placentation
The usage of “ Eulemur “ for this group of animals that includes the mongoose lemur, fl lemur and crowned lemur as well was chosen by Simons and Rumpler (1988) to distinguish them from ring-tailed lemurs on anatomical grounds.
Several investigators have made major contributions to our understanding of the taxonomic impact of these karyotypes as well as their significance for the fertility or infertility of the many hybrids that have been reported (Gray, 1972; Rumpler, 1975).
We have had the good fortune of receiving tissues for karyotyping from the Duke Primate Center in North Carolina and found specimens of Eulemur fulvus collaris with chromosome numbers of 50, 51, and 52, while earlier this species was always judged to have 2n=52 only.

 Crowned lemur - Eulemur coronatus: More Information - ARKive
This is the smallest species belonging to the genus Eulemur.
It forages at all levels of the canopy, though it seems to prefer the lower levels where there is less competition with Sandford's Brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus sanfordi) (2).
Mating occurs in May and June and, after a gestation period of about 125 days, one or two young are born.
