Djebelemur
''Djebelemur'' is an extinct genus of early strepsirrhine primate from the late early
or early middle Eocene period from the Chambi locality in Tunisia. Although they probably lacked a toothcomb, a specialized dental structure found in living lemuriforms (lemurs and lorisoids), they are thought to be a related stem group. The one recognized species, ''Djebelemur martinezi'', was very small, approximately .
''Djebelemur'' is one of two genera of djebelemurids, the other including '''Anchomomys' milleri'', a fossil primate formerly thought to be related to other members of the genus ''Anchomomys'', a group of Eocene European adapiform primates. Following its discovery and description in 1992, ''Djebelemur'' was thought to be either a relative of European adapiforms or an early simian, mostly due to the fragmentary nature of the lower jaw and two isolated upper molars that may not belong with the jaw. By 2006, it was viewed as a stem lemuriform.
== Etymology ==
The name "''Djebelemur''" derives from the mountainous outcrops in which the first specimens were found: Arabic ''djebel'' means "mountain". The species was named in honor of geologist C. Martinez, who was the guide and host for the field party that made the discovery.
