Trogolemur leonardi ( Storer, 1990)

Type. Right upper second molar, RSM P1899.1007 View Materials .

Horizon and type locality. Channel sands and gravels of the mid-to-late Eocene age along the east side of Lac Pelletier, southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada ( Storer, 1983, 1987, 1996).

Revised diagnosis. Teeth 30-40% larger in linear dimensions than Trogolemur myodes ; upper molars broader relative to length, more distinct and larger protocone lobe, smaller metaconule, more distinct lingual cingulum, more reduced metacone on M3; lower molars less exodaenodont with less pronounced buccal cingulum; m3 protoconid and metaconid closer to each other; m3 hypoconulid lobe narrower. Differs from Trogolemur amplior in being significantly smaller; notch buccal to the entoconid and distinct break in cristid obliqua on m1/m2. Differs from Trogolemur fragilis in being significantly larger; m3 protoconid and metaconid closer to each other.

Hypodigm. LM1, RSM P1899.1005; RM1, RSM P1899.1006; LM3, RSM P1899.1014; RM3, RSM P1899.1016; Lm1 or m2, RSM P1899.1002; Rm1 or m2, RSM P1899.1003; Rm1 or m2, RSM P1899.1004; Rm1 or m2, RSM P1900.51.
