Omomyiformes (cladistically including theTarsiidae[2])

Tarsiiformes/ˈtɑːrsi.ɪfɔːrmz/ are a group ofprimates that once ranged across Europe, northern Africa, Asia, and North America, but whoseextantspecies are all found in the islands ofSoutheast Asia.Tarsiers (family Tarsiidae) are the only living members of theinfraorder; other members of Tarsiidae include the extinctTarsius eocaenus from theEocene,[3] andTarsius thailandicus from theMiocene.[4] Two extinct genera,Xanthorhysis andAfrotarsius, are considered to be close relatives of the living tarsiers, and are generally classified within Tarsiiformes, with the former grouped within family Tarsiidae, and the latter listed asincertae sedis (undefined).[3]Omomyids are generally considered to be extinct relatives, or even ancestors, of the living tarsiers, and are often classified within Tarsiiformes.

Otherfossil primates, includingMicrochoeridae,Carpolestidae,[5] andEosimiidae,[6] have been included in this classification, although the fossil evidence is debated. Eosimiidae has also been classified under the infraorderSimiiformes (withmonkeys andapes), and most experts now consider Eosimiidae to be stem[clarification needed] simians.[7][8] Likewise, Carpolestidae is often classified within the orderPlesiadapiformes, a very close, extinct relative of primates.[9]

These conflicting classifications lie at the heart of the debate over early primate evolution. Even the placement of Tarsiiformes within suborderHaplorhini, as a sister group to the simians (monkeys and apes), is still debated.[3][10]

Classification

[edit]
Main article:List of tarsiiformes

Generally accepted members of this infraorder include the living tarsiers,[1] the extinct omomyids, two extinct fossil genera, and two extinct fossil species within the genusTarsius.[3] Ashaplorhines, they are more closely related to monkeys and apes than to thestrepsirrhine primates, which includelemurs,galagos, andlorises.

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^Other extinct taxa that are thought to belong to Tarsiiformes but are yet unranked includeEkgmowechashala,Kohatius,Altanius, andAltiatlasius.[3]
  2. ^Alternatively, this genus is sometimes listed in the family Afrotarsiidae within Tarsiiformes,[5] or as a family within the infraorder Simiiformes.[7]
  3. ^In 2010,Colin Groves and Myron Shekelle suggested splitting the living tarsiers into three genera:Tarsius,Cephalopachus, andCarlito.[11]
