This research was conducted to portray the phylogenetic relationships of a genus of Malaysian primitive primate (Nycticebus) with several groups of Malaysian higher primates (Presbytis, Trachypithecus, Macaca, and Symphalangus). We sequenced 388 base pairs of the partial Cytochrome B mtDNA gene sequences. A single individual of Tarsius bancanus was selected as an outgroup to root the tree. Data analyses were done using character-based approach (Maximum Parsimony, MP) and distance-based approach (Neighbour-joining, NJ). MP and NJ analysis show two major monophyletic clades between Nyticebus coucang and other Malaysian primates. This study supports the separation between Prosimii and Anthropoidea primates.
