Changes in omomyid species, together with increasing I1 size, were probably related to increasing gum-feeding and frugivory (28). P1 for T. americana (character 2) is either reduced (most specimens) or absent (at least one) (19). Low entoconid on M2 (character 16) can be objectively assessed by measuring the angle made by the entocristid and post-entocristid (part of postcristid), i.e., the crests running anteriorly and posterolabially from the entoconid: When viewed from above or obliquely from the labial side, this angle is always obtuse in T. belgica and T. brandti (resulting in a low entoconid) and acute in T. americana and T. crassidens (high entoconid). Labial cingulids (character 13) are variable in T. brandti.
