The Sumatran slow loris (Nycticebus hilleri) is a strepsirrhine primate and a species of slow loris that is native to Sumatra.
While this species used to be considered a junior synonym of the Sunda slow loris,[2] it is now recognized by the IUCN as a full species.[1] This species is named after Hiram M. Hiller Jr., who collected the holotype of this species while exploring the East Indies in 1901.[3]
