Tetonus homunculus skull

Anaptomorphinae is a pre-historic group of primates known from Eocene fossils in North America and Europe and later periods of Paleocene Asia, and are a sub-family of omomyids.[2] The anaptomorphines is a paraphyletic group consisting of the two tribes Trogolemurini and Anaptomorphini.[3] Anaptomorphine radiation in Wyoming, one of the most detailed records of changes within populations and between species in the fossil record, has provided remarkable evidence of transitional fossils.[4]
