	Tarsiiformes - Wikispecies
		Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) is a species of infraorder Tarsiiformes.
		The Infraorder Tarsiiformes has 1 family, 1 genus and 7 species.
		Almost invariably placed in a group with Simiiformes (=Anthropoidea), but according to Murphy et al.

		Tarsiiform primates also enjoyed nearly cosmopolitan distributions at this time, being most abundant and diverse in North America.
		Undoubted tarsiiform primates have not yet been found on the Afro-Arabian continent, and they may never have inhabited that landmass.
		The fact that eosimiids, amphipithecids and tarsiiforms have never been found in Africa is a major obstacle to the hypothesis that anthropoids might have originated on that continent.

		Notes: [1] most of these characters are for the living genus Tarsius and may not apply to more basal forms.
		Notes: [1] [R00] argues that anthropoid origins are related to shift from small nocturnal predator to large diurnal omnivore.

	Primates Summary - Primates Information
		We can classify these species (and the primate fossils we find) into two major groups (suborders): prosimians (at least 38 species) and anthropoids (at least 129 species).
		One lineage (see graph) gave rise to Lorisiformes and Lemuriformes, and the other lineage gave rise to Tarsiiformes and the ancestors of all other primate groups (anthropoids).
		Lorisiformes can be found all over Africa and Asia, and Tarsiiformes are restricted to Asia.

	Ch5. Introduction to the Primates
		Two taxonomic arrangements are generally used today--one based on the traditional division between Prosimii and Anthropoidea, and a more recent one that divides groups into the Strepsirhini and Haplorhini.
		The difference between these two taxonomies is that the Tarsiiformes have been moved from the traditional suborder of Prosimii into the Anthropoidea.
		Lemurs (Lemuriformes) can only be found on Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, and represent a lineage of primates that have evolved in isolation from other such groups over the past 120 million years.

	Rooneyia - Tarisform primate
		There are two main groups identified: Adapiformes which are usually considered to be ancestral to modern Strepsirhines; Tarsiiformes which are (mostly) considered to be early Haplorhines.
		Omomyids are the best examples of early Tarsiiformes.
		These early Tarsiiformes have some features to associate them with later anthropoids, including short face, big eyes, narrow gap between eyes, large brain, and tubular ectotympanic bone

	ChimpanZoo Web Site: Tarsiiformes Infraorder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The Tarsiiformes Infraorder contains only one family, Tarsiidae, and one genus, Tarsius.
		In the classification system used in these pages, tarsiers fall into the Prosimii suborder and in another they are placed in the suborder of Haplorrhini, along with the anthropoids.
		They are arboreal but will occassionally hop along the ground.

		Many changes in mammalian faunas occurred across the early (Wasatchian) to middle (Bridgerian) Eocene boundary as documented in the fossil record from the Western Interior of North America.
		One of the more striking changes took place within the tarsiiform primate family Omomyidae.
		In the early Eocene, omomyids were dominated, both in abundance and diversity, by the subfamily Anaptomorphinae.

		All indications are that these two suborders separated very early, perhaps 60 million years ago.
		The Strepsirrhini divide further into Lemuriformes (lemurlike) and Loriformes (lorislike) infraorders, while the Haplorrhini divide into Tarsiiformes (tarsiers) and Simiiformes (“anthropoids”—i.e., monkeys, apes, and humans).
		The Simiiformes divide in turn into Platyrrhini (New World monkeys) and Catarrhini (Old World monkeys and hominoids).
