Anaptomorphus is a genus of extinct anaptomorphine primate from Eocene South and North America[1]
Description
[edit]Compared to other primates from the time, Anaptomorphus is rather advanced in dentition, with the dental formula being 2,1,2,32,1,2,3 × 2 = 32.[1]
Classification
[edit]Anaptomorphus is placed within Omomyidae, related to (and often sister clade of) Tarsiers. A. homonculus , a species formerly assigned to Anaptomorphus, has been moved to the related genus Tetonius.[2][3]
