Afrotarsius (original) (raw)
Afrotarsius ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Primaten, die im Eozän und im Oligozän in Nordafrika vorkam. In Ägypten und Libyen entdeckte Fossilien, die zu dieser Gattung gestellt wurden, sind mehr als 31 Millionen Jahre (Ägypten) und bis zu 39 Millionen Jahre (Libyen) alt. Typusart ist Afrotarsius chatrathi, deren Überreste in der ägyptischen Fossillagerstätte Fayyum geborgen wurden. Die Fossilien dieser Gattung gelten als enge Verwandte der heute lebenden Sulawesi-Koboldmakis (Gattung Tarsius) und wurden – wie diese – der Familie der Koboldmakis (Tarsiidae) zugeordnet.

(de) Afrotarsius is a primate found in the Paleogene of Africa. The first species to be named, Afrotarsius chatrathi, was named in 1985 on the basis of a single lower jaw from the Oligocene of Fayum, Egypt, and tentatively referred to the tarsier family (Tarsiidae). However, this relationship immediately proved controversial, and in 1987 the animal was placed in a separate family Afrotarsiidae related to simians. A tarsier-like was allocated to Afrotarsius in 1998, but the identity of this bone is controversial. In 2010, a second species of the genus, Afrotarsius libycus, was named from the Eocene of , Libya, on the basis of isolated upper and lower teeth. Features of these teeth were interpreted as additional evidence for a relationship between Afrotarsius and anthropoids. A second afrotarsiid genus, Afrasia, was named in 2012 from the Eocene of Myanmar. In the same paper, Afrotarsiidae was placed together with the Asian Eosimiidae in an infraorder , in the simians. However, some studies indicate that it should be placed in Tarsiiformes. (en) |
