The Antafia sportive lemur, or red-shouldered sportive lemur (Lepilemur aeeclis) is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has a total length of about 52 to 59 cm (20 to 23 in), of which 24–26 cm (9.4–10.2 in) are tail.[4] The AEECL's sportive lemur is found in western Madagascar, living in dry deciduous forests.[4]
The species was named in honor of the Association Européenne pour l'Étude et la Conservation des Lémuriens [fr] (the A.E.E.C.L.) for its twelve years of support to the research team that discovered it.[5] It is unusual in having a specific name based on an acronym.[6]
