FIGURE 7. Hypothesis of relationships of Walshina gen. nov. in the context of the Order Primates. Strict consensus cladogram based on data modified from Holroyd and Strait (2008), including the addition of seven newly-coded trogolemurins (Trogolemur amplior, Tr. fragilis, Tr. leonardi, Sphacorhysis burntforkensis, Walshina esmaraldensis gen. et sp. nov., W. mcgrewi comb. nov., and W. shifrae comb. nov.), a microchoerine (Melaneremia bryanti), and three anaptomorphins (Anemorhysis sublettensis, An. wortmani, and An. natronensis). Trogolemurins are marked in blue.
