The slender lorises are two species of loris, the only members of the genus Loris:

the Red Slender Loris, Loris tardigradus
the Gray Slender Loris, Loris lydekkerianus

Some sources list only one species, Loris tardigradus and regard subspecies of lydekkerianus as subspecies instead, of tardigradus.
