Europolemur klatti
''Europolemur klatti'' was a medium to large size adapiformes primate that lived on the continent of Europe from the middle to early Eocene. One possible relative to this species is ''Margarita stevensi'', whose type specimen is about the size of a white-footed sportive lemur (''Lepilemur leucopus''). Characteristic of most adapines are the reduced or absence of a paraconid and morphology of the paracristid. These and a few other features are synapomorphies that were used to link ''E. klatti'' with ''Leptadapis priscus'' and ''Microadapis sciureus'', as well as ''Smilodectes''.
==Morphology==
''Europolemur klatti'' is part of a group of long-digited fossils, and most likely approximates early euprimate hand proportions. ''E. klatti'' has a grasping hallux and there is evidence that supports that ''E. klatti'' may have had nails instead of claws.〔 This insinuates that stabilizing the tips of the digits and hand must have in some way been an important function for them and their lifestyle in their habitat. Relative to the forearm, the hand of ''E. klatti'' was large which may be related to vertical climbing or posture. The shape of the calcaneus (heel) resembles that found in ''Smilodectes'' and ''Notharctus''. ''E. klatti'' had an average body mass of 1.7 kilograms.
