The bullae are only moderately inflated, and the external auditory meatus is continuous with the zygomatic branch of the squamosal . The palate ends behind the last molar. The teeth of lorids are diverse and variously specialized. As in other strepsirrhines , the lower incisors and canines form a comb-like structure . The most anterior lower premolars are canine-like.
Upper canines are long and well-developed, and the molars have three or four cusps.
The postcranial anatomy of lorids is also rather highly specialized. Fore and hind limbs are approximately equal in length. On the feet, the hallux and pollex are well developed and strongly opposed to the remaining digits, more so than in the related galagos. The fossil record of the lorids extends back to the Early Miocene. L. C. Drickamer, S. H. Vessey, and J. F. Merritt.
