Adapis
}} ''Adapis''〔Thinking that the distorted remains from the Paris region belonged to an extinct genus of pachyderms, Cuvier adopted ''Adapis'', a non-scientific name that was "sometimes used for the Hyrax" (''Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles'', Vol. 3, 1822, p. 265, (footnote )), which he thought it closely resembled. Cuvier's source for the informal name was Conrad Gesner, ''Historiae animalium'', I (Zurich, 1551), chapter on rabbits, ( p. 395 ). Gesner himself believed that both ''adapis'' and the Aramaic word from which he thought it was derived actually referred to the common rabbit.〕 is an extinct genus of Adapidae primate belonging to the subfamily Adapinae 〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/5258/Adapis〕 The genus was named by Cuvier in 1822 and contains up to three species.〔(The Paleobiology Database )〕 Males were larger than females. ==References==
