Abstract

Further evidence of parallel evolution of Necrolemur and Microchoerus is put forward. The two forms were found in a fissure filling of Upper Eocene age (Fons 4) from Dielsdorf (Zürich region, Switzerland). Not only the dentition shows different morphs, but also postcranial material represents two vertical dingers and leapers of different size.
