Although these specimens are cladistically lorisiform, and in some features are variably similar, especially to Arctocebus, Nycticebus, and Perodicticus, they do not share the suite of apomorphies that unites these extant lorisids plus the fourth genus, Loris, as a clade. The postcrania (preserved for one specimen) are primitive relative to those of lorisids in having a long tail and lacking a distinctly hooked ulnar styloid process. Both specimens are dentally primitive relative to lorisids in retaining a more buccally emplaced cristid obliqua and lacking deep hypoflexid notches on the lower molars, as well as in having relatively longer lower middle... |
