Colugos (/kəˈluːɡoʊ/)^[2]^[3] are arboreal gliding mammals that are native to Southeast Asia. Their closest evolutionary relatives are primates. There are just two living species of colugos: the Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus) and the Philippine flying lemur (Cynocephalus volans). These two species make up the entire family Cynocephalidae (/ˌsaɪnoʊˌsɛfəˈlaɪdi, -ˌkɛ-/)^[4] and order Dermoptera (not to be confused with Dermaptera, an order of insects known as earwigs).^[1]^[5]
