The Sangihe Tarsier ("Tarsius sangirensis") also known as Sangihe Island Tarsier is a small primate found on Sangir Island, which is located about 200 kilometers north-east of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Another population is found on the nearby Siau Island, but it may warrant a separate taxonomic status.Brandon-Jones, D., Eudey, A. A., Geissmann, T., Groves, C. P., Melnick, D. J., Morales, J. C., Shekelle, M. and Stewart, C.-B. 2004. "Asian primate classification." International Journal of Primatology 25(1): 97-164.]
