The red-bellied lemur (''Eulemur rubriventer'') is a medium sized strepsirrhine primate with a luxuriant chestnut brown coat. This lemur is endemic to eastern Madagascan rainforests and is distinguished by patches of white skin below the eyes, giving rise to a "teardrop" effect, particularly conspicuous in the male.〔Russell Mittermeier ''et al.'', ''Lemurs of Madagascar'', Conservation Press (2006)〕 The species, first identified in the year 1850, exhibits diurnal behaviour and marked sexual dimorphism. The red-bellied lemur has been studied extensively since the mid-1980s, primarily in Ranomafana National Park.〔B. Meier, ''Preliminary report of a field study of Lemur rubriventer and Hapalemar simus (nov. species) in Ranomafana-Itandiana'' (1986-87) Report to Ministry of Scientific Research, 312 Faritany Fianaransoa, Antananarivo, Madagascar〕〔C. Dague and J.J. Peter, ''Observations sur le Lemur ruriventer dans son milieu naturel'', In: L. Rakotovao, ''L’Equilibre des Ecosystems Forestiers a Madagascar: Actes d’un seminaire international'' IUCN, Gland Switz and Cambridge (1988)〕 This lemur species is designated as vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List, due to threats endangering habitats from slash-and-burn agriculture in Madagascar. ==Etymology==
There are various Malagasy tribal names for the red-bellied lemur including ''tongo'', ''tagona'', ''halomena'', ''kirioka'' and ''soamiera''. In the French scientific literature (Madagascar’s second official language is French, due to prior colonisation by France) the species is called ''Lémur à ventre rouge''.
