Tarsius niemitzi

One species of tarsier is the Niemitz's tarsier (Tarsius niemitzi). In 2019, it was given this name in memory of Carsten Niemitz, a German evolutionary researcher. The Togian Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Sulawesi that are home to the species. It is referred to as bunsing, tangkasi, or podi in Indonesian, while Niemitz's tarsier has been proposed as the common name in English.

  In 1993, scientists Alexandra Nietsch and Carsten Niemitz discovered tarsiers off Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. The discovery led to studies on the tarsier's vocalizations and DNA sequence. A recent study in Primate Conservation confirms the discovery as a new species, named after the father of tarsier field biology, Carsten Niemitz. The tarsier is a small primate type found in the Togean Islands.
